Is it as vectra-ish as people seem to think?

Then go to your local second-hand dealer. They're not that rare.

I've only ever seen 2 on the road, and not one on autotrader or ebay within 100 miles

We have a road of about 30 dealers, not a signum in sight

Obviously dash etc is Vectra albeit in Elite trim so bits of veneer and plenty of leather,rides lower than stock Vectra but still quite good ride and handling seems fine to me but I aint Stirling moss ::),go wise very good,certainly way more guts than my old Omega Estate and low thirties mpg around the sticks down here and forty on a run :y

I am surprised. Maybe that's a good sign. ;)

Just had a look on the trader. There are 31 nationally (auto, diesel), ranging from £1700 to £5000.

Rare compared to a lot of other things, think there's more migs than that!

Not bad mpg considering age/size/engine, may be worth a look

How does it compare to an Elite F/L for gadgets?

What size was your mig estate? I'm surprised a 3L auto D has much more tbh?

Mine was 2.5 with 3.0 cams fitted,Signum would eat it for go,it's not the bhp but the torque that chucks it up the road with very little throttle applied,hence the good economy I suppose.

Yes, you're right, I was surprised at that because I see quite a few round here.

Hmm, I'm getting more interested.......

Oh, so you have them all.....in "England" according to your postside!

Care to narrow it down?
