Description
Vauxhall Insignia VXR Nav 2.8T V6 Sports Tourer - 325 PS - 4WD - Manual
PROJECT / FUTURE RESTORATION OPPORTUNITY
For sale is a Vauxhall Insignia VXR Nav Sports Tourer, powered by the desirable 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 producing 325 PS, coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox and 4WD.
This is very much a project car and is being sold with that in mind. It would suit someone who knows these cars, enjoys working on them, or is looking for a worthwhile performance estate to take on and bring back to its best.
The car has plenty of potential, with the combination of the 325 PS turbocharged V6, manual gearbox and 4WD making these a particularly interesting and increasingly uncommon performance estate.
Important points to be aware of:
The car is being advertised as a project
The clutch is likely to require replacement at some point in the future
The timing chains have never not been replaced, so this should be factored into any future maintenance plans
There are some minor dents and scuffs to the paintwork/bodywork, consistent with the car's age
Please expect the car to require further work and investment to bring it up to the standard of a fully prepared example
Potential buyers are strongly advised to check the current cost of vehicle tax (VED) before purchasing, as the 2.8-litre V6 and its emissions mean the ongoing tax cost can be significant
Despite the above, this is a great opportunity for someone looking for a rare, powerful and practical VXR the runs and drives well and who is prepared to take on a project.
