Vauxhall Astra GTC VXR | 2.0 Turbo 280PS | VXR Aero Pack | Carbon Flash Black | 2015 (65 Plate) There was a time when manufacturers still built genuinely uncompromising hot hatchbacks — cars engineered with character, aggression, and mechanical theatre rather than digital filters and artificial soundtracks. The Astra GTC VXR belongs firmly to that era. Powered by the formidable 2.0-litre turbocharged engine producing 280PS through a proper six-speed manual gearbox, the VXR remains one of the last truly raw front-wheel-drive performance coupés. Fast, loud, and unapologetically focused, it delivers the kind of driving experience modern performance cars increasingly struggle to recreate. The wide-track chassis, aggressive body styling, and deeply sculpted coupé proportions gave the GTC VXR a presence few rivals could match, while the VXR Aero Pack transformed the car visually into something far more purposeful and motorsport-inspired. Finished in Carbon Flash Black Pearl with Recaro Styled Sport Seats, this example presents in fantastic condition throughout and has clearly been maintained with genuine enthusiasm. The paintwork retains an excellent finish, the interior remains beautifully preserved, and the factory alloy wheels are completely unmarked. Equally impressive is the provenance. Originally supplied by Vauxhall Carlisle to Mr Irving, who retained ownership until 2019, the vehicle was subsequently purchased by Mr Coates and has clearly continued to receive excellent care thereafter. The history file comprises 10 documented services, including 5 completed by Vauxhall main dealers, with the vehicle having just been freshly serviced at 61,848 miles. Unlike many heavily modified or poorly maintained examples now appearing on the market, this VXR remains an exceptionally honest, unmodified and well-preserved car that retains the character and integrity enthusiasts actively seek. Factory Specification Highlights VXR Aero Pack, Recaro Styled Sport Seats, 20-Inch VXR Alloy Wheels, Bluetooth Connectivity, DAB Digital Radio, CD Audio System, Dual Zone Climate Control, Cruise Control, Flat Bottom VXR Steering Wheel, Sports Suspension, Electrically Adjustable Door Mirrors, Multi-Function Display, USB Connectivity, and Automatic Lighting. Documentation and Provenance Full Vauxhall and Independent Service History file with 10 documented services, including 5 Vauxhall dealer services. Recently serviced at 61,848 miles.

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely well cared for Astra GTC VXR — one of the last truly charismatic modern hot hatchbacks built for drivers rather than algorithms.
