	It will be a press car that vauxhall used to market that model. We used to have loads of them up in the back of the workshops when I worked in vauxhall, all with the same VXL number plates

	Yeah it's probably got a bit of death in its life. No different to its life now tbh.

	L1 does seem to be the one that ends up In the mags and websites, seen it on top gear as well I'm sure
Ian	posted on 16th Apr 12 at 16:48
	I think they're all on a few cars, 20 or so plates and they just go on whatever is new/on demo.

	H6 VXL J6 VXL J22 VXL All relate to Astra twintops too
XE Col	posted on 16th Apr 12 at 16:41
	Ah, maybe L1 VXL was the back up car Incase yours broke down then :lol:

	Perhaps although the luck I've had with it, there's probably a reason mine isn't in photos :lol:
XE Col	posted on 16th Apr 12 at 16:39
	Yours must have just been a back up car Incase L1 VXL broke down on the way to the photo shoot ? :lol:
Ian	posted on 16th Apr 12 at 16:36
	Yeah that's the one I was on about in the first post, not the same car.

	I had a look on google and Its showing l1 vxl on a black twin top
Ian	posted on 16th Apr 12 at 16:31
	No way. That's a sales thing for it, no pic of the actual car but the spec is right. This is the type of thing - http://www.mk3oc.com/forum/showthread.php?39665 [Edited on 16-04-2012 by Ian]

	Needs a bit of wiring loom for the boot, dealer doesn't have the reg so did it off chassis number. Reg they have for it is H9 VXL which I think is a Vauxhall Motors plate. Here's the same plate on a (newer) Insignia - http://www.msg-nonstatuscontracthire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/vauxhall-insignia.jpg Your challenge is to find a pic of my car with that plate on, it's a black twin top. Car looks the same as this one but L1 is a 1.9 diesel and also the seats are different and mine has xenons.
