Given the choice of a Tigra for peanuts or  ........I'd say yeah, why not?

 .....so servicing should be a doddle.  ....

And it's a Vauxhall for all those Trade Club servicing bits.  :y  :y  :y

Well there you go starwhites. What car can you buy for 400 quids these days?? And just how bad can it be as a car for you to honestly say 'oh, i was ripped off paying 400 for this!"


Incidentally 2 tigras in my local scrappy, any bits, let me know.  :y

tigras are making a bit of a comeback round here, many modders fit the c20let motor nowdays, theres a smart silver tigra down by us with an irmscher kit, looks cool.and the 1.6 motor aint bad either so go for it, look for a crack in the exhaust manifold though cus they crack and are very hard to get 2nd hand costing a small fortune new  ::) :o

Im lucky on that score as my brother works at a local scrappie so I get the heads up on anything that comes in to him that will be any use.

Well its all sorted now and shes more than happy, except the fact im going to nick it for a couple of weeks to enable me to get all the jobs done on the old girl at leisure instead of rushing everything  ;D Looks like two weeks of go carting lol

I'd be even more surprised if my missus used mine.

Thing is, I don't HAVE missus. I'd be saying "Who the hell are you, get out of my car!!"   :y

I would actualy consider a Tigra 1.6 16V as a bit of a go cart.

They handle pretty well but its not pricey to make them significantly better.
