Looks decent, I remember seeing these at Autosport International a few years ago and thinking they looked good, but also expensive!
What sort of premium do they hold over the standard VXR, compared to new?

The colour scheme just reminds me of Christmas for some reason.

They were never cheap and I have been looking for one since January and have finally got the one I want! I will post the price and details on Sunday
I was set on getting a corsa Nurb but was alittle disappointed after driving his.... This has a lot better spec and if I bought one I would do everything this has on it...

Haha yer they do, now ill try and justify them all.....
Vinnie (astra VXR) great all rounder and fun to hoon around... Harley wont drive tho!! Don't use in the week
Charlie (corsa VXR-R) great all rounder and fun to hoon but something for Harley to get into on track days and get used to the power etc. don't use in week either
Monty (corsa b) mental and scares me.... But I love it and I enjoy building him rather than driving.... Has a lot of sentimental value, don't use in week either
Oliver (corsa c) daily work horse and great to leave places and not worry, great on fuel...

It seems to me the Astra is now pointless

Not exactly cheap to build a LET either though.

Nice power but prefer the Nurburgring's styling.
Naming your cars though

Can't imagine spending out that much on cars and having to drive a corsa c most of the time. Then looking forward to a corsa or an astra at weekends
Corsa looks nice though, but these sort of cars aren't worth tucking away imo, unless you're r going to keep it for 20-25yrs
Just my controversial trolling opinion
