2003 Vauxhall VX220

I saw this car recently stopped at some traffic lights on Chester Road in Stretford.

It's a 2003 Vauxhall VX220 with a 4-cylinder inline 1,998cc Vauxhall Astra GSi engine which was marketed in the rest of Europe as an Opel Speedster with a 2,198cc General Motors Ecotec engine. It was built on a Lotus Elise Series II chassis by Lotus Engineering at their Hethel factory in return for funding by General Motors for production of this new Elise.
