Amazing but it’s still a Vauxhall Vectra.

Says it has to be sold by midday today.
Either an elaborate April fools or someone’s in trouble.

I would guess it’s an April’s Fool as the normal saying is after a certain time the joke is on them.

Spoilsport!

Edit: I see you have spoiled your own thread. It’s too early for this and I am hungover. Good morning.

My all time favourite touring car... still wouldn't be paying £350k for it though.

Nothing like some old BTCC nostalgia for a Sunday morning.

I had a lot of those classic BTCC body shells (and a couple of nice DTM ones) for my Tamiya TA02 racing chassis as a kid. Glory days...

A lot of TOCA memories here! Loved that game. Spent hours on end wrecking that Laguna.

I remember they brought that car to Kirkistown along with Alain Menu, Jason Plato and John Cleland. Got their autographs and photos with them. My dad won a raffle and I picked the Renault Team Jumper as the prize as Menu was my favourite. If I remember they only did a few laps as the track was so poor at the time, Menu couldnt even go out. JP did a few laps and that was it. Great day all the same.

Wasn't a great car for Vauxhall in the BTCC.

See, back when BTCC was relatable. The cars looked like those you see everyday, just lowered, with big rims and stickers.

Apparently it only has "motorway miles" on it as well.

So, like the cars you see everyday, then?

It's no coincidence that that era was when that sort of modifying really took off.
