SUMMARY
A rare, performance-focused, limited edition Astra T8 Coupé developed by their race team to celebrate Vauxhall's success in the BTCC.
DESCRIPTION
Background:
This rare 2002 Vauxhall Astra Coupé 888 was inspired by the British Touring Car Championship successes of the Astras run by the Triple Eight race team. Only 100 Coupés were built by Triple Eight on behalf of Vauxhall Motors. Derived from the Astra Coupé Turbo and powered by the same 187bhp, turbocharged 2-litre engine, the 888 Edition has a host of individual features including race-proven chassis modifications, Milltek stainless steel exhaust, VXR front brakes, O.Z. Racing alloy wheels, Eibach springs and dampers, ETC-Plus traction control, a Quickshift reduced-travel gear lever, BTCC-inspired body kit, and a restyled interior. Numbers were limited to just 100 examples, and all were finished in a bespoke shade of Europa Blue Pearlescent.
The car:
The car on offer has a current indicated mileage of 66,046 and, prior to being put into storage by our vendor, work included a service, 888 air filter, 888 brake pads and a new 888 backbox. New Bilstein dampers were fitted but the original Eibachs will accompany the car. It's supplied with the owner's manuals, stamped service book, original sales brochure along with various invoices and MOTs. The appropriate registration number, L888 VXL, will remain with the car.
Summary:
A modern-era BTCC celebration model with a firm nod to the circuit car's looks, this striking 888 Edition looks good value given its motorsport underpinnings.
