If we had to come up with an Ultimate Buyers Guide for Classic Cars it would look something like this:
- Unbelievably low mileage.
- Low owners.
- Only produced or found in low numbers.
- Documented full service history.
- Serviced & belted.
- Clean sheet MOT.
- Driving superbly.
- Huge & complete file going back to the original Bill of Sale, complete bookpack & spare keys.
- Rare Specification.
- Immaculate & original condition.
The reality is that these cars are few and far between, but now and again one comes along…with just one former keeper, 22, 000 miles and in outstanding condition we think this must be the best Mark 1 Tigra in the UK.
With only 41 Tigra Chequers on the road, and just 16 from 1998, this is a rare and collectable modern classic; a cool daily driver, a rare car for meets and shows or one to tuck away in a collection.
This is a true time warp example and we can literally start at the very beginning with this car; it has every bit of history and documentation from day one starting with the original Bill of Sale and salesman’s business card from Motorama in Rochdale, right upto the MOT last month; where it flew through with no advisories.
The huge file retains every receipt and invoice, original letters from the Vauxhall dealership, three keys and all the original manuals and operating codes. The original Service Book has 27 stamps and its even had the Timing belt and Water Pump replaced just 2, 000 miles and 2 years ago.
Fastidiously maintained, it drives as well as it looks; the sharp and responsive 1. 4 engine mated to the 5 speed gearbox delivers a superb and lively drive.
And the list goes on…
- All original mats, stickers, keyrings and number plates.
- Extremely rare non-convertible ‘ tin top’.
- Immaculate condition inside, outside and underneath.
- No rust whatsoever and wax sealed.
- Everything in excellent working order, even the Air Conditioning.
- Alloy wheels are in excellent condition with tyres recently replaced.
So as far as our Ultimate Buyers Guide goes, this one ticks all the boxes… and you can add fabulous retro ‘90s style to the list, we think this is a rare chance to own an iconic piece of '90s motoring history.
