  • Finished in Silver over a cloth interior
  • Owned by The Vendor for the last 26 years
  • Just 1 former keeper
  • Comes with great history file including stamped service book

On the Surface:

A low-mileage and low-ownership example of the limited-edition Vauxhall Tigra Chequers, finished in silver with a cloth interior. Still wearing its original alloy wheels and number plates, this example presents with excellent originality.

Maintenance & History:

Originally registered as a demonstrator for a Vauxhall main dealer for its first month, this Tigra was then purchased by The Vendor, who has cherished it for the past 26 years. It comes with a wealth of invoices, reflecting careful upkeep and long-term ownership. Offered for sale only due to The Vendor’s ill health. Accompanied by the original Vauxhall bookpack containing handbooks and a service book displaying eight service stamps, covering maintenance from 2000 at 3,762 miles through to 2015 at 45,394 miles. The car benefits from a new cam belt and a new battery fitted in 2023.

The Model:

The Chequers was a limited-edition version of the Tigra coupe, featuring colour-coded bumpers and mirrors, unique interior trim, and stylish detailing to set it apart from standard models. Powered by 1.4-litre or 1.6 litre engine, the Chequers edition formed part of Vauxhall’s strategy to offer sportier, design-led variants of their popular compact coupe, which ran from 1994 to 2001.

Sale Insight:

A rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved, low-ownership Tigra Chequers with strong originality and documented history. Much loved by its long-term owners, this example would serve as an enjoyable and affordable entry point into classic car ownership.
