Suspension
888 Racing suspension with Eibach pro springs set (new springs 2 yrs ago)this car handles very very well and is quite stiff due to this setup.

First owner was a mature couple in which was mainly used by the wife, it was then traded in to main vauxhall dealer aberdeen at 54k miles totally standard in feb 2009, from then on in our hands now at 71k, since our ownership it has always been serviced and mot'd at main vauxhall dealer Aberdeen.

Very very rare car.

Only reason for selling is due to purchase of Nurburgring Vxr.

Any questions Pm.

For those who dont know.

These cars were to represent the btcc championship win 2001-02, only 100 were treated to the triple eight (888) race engineering treatment, then sold on to the public via main vauxhall dealers, so bodywork wise its standard 888.

Its a very supprising car in lots of ways, goes very well - handles really good - has a lovely note.

Had a blast against my mates 09 plate s3 and the old girl certainly didnt struggle infact if anything very slightly pulled.

Thanks john, few stone chips on front bumper (majority by a nob of a subaru who cut me up on the dueler whilst swapping lanes kicked up a load of grit ect due to the winter months) the colour shows up more aswell and a couple of car park dings.

But for its age it is in really good nick and always looks well clean, and goes spot on.

New price and new mot.
