I saw one on the A12 on the way to Ipswich on Saturday.
And it was'nt a SRi as it had the VXR badges and the centre exit exhaust, was 55 plate.

There are now 780 orders in place. We have an allocation of 900 units this year and 2500 for 2006.
Dealers were told the first car ( their demo ) would arrive 3rd week Sept. We notified them of a delay of up to 2 weeks but we're now trying to get the first cars in country by 4th week of Sept.
The cars are not just regular production line models and so cannot be built at normal vehicle speeds hence the longer production times. The cars are on the way so just hang on a bit longer , it'll be worth it

I work at a vauxhall dealer my boss is always wanting to know when he will be getting his and the earliest it says at the moment is JAN 2006
I will let you know when we get the demo for the show room
that maybe quicker as it wont have any optional extra's and may arrive sooner!
