Remarks

This is a rare chance to purchase one of the first Astra VXR models which looks totally original to me and not modified or messed about in any way. The car is in the exclusive colour of Arden Blue and with the factory fitted 19 inch alloy wheels currently fitted with premium Michelin Sport tyres 235/35/ZR 19 all with plenty of life on them. It does have a certain wow factor on 1st sight, with the 19" optional alloy wheels contributing to this (spare alloy in the boot also). The bodywork is very good for a car of this age but does have stone chips as you would expect, it does have some bubbling to the paintwork on the lower nearside wheel arch but this is not excessive and with a little work could be repaired, which sort of shows its originality (please see the photo on the listing).
