There's apparently about 26 million licenced cars in the UK.

There's apparenlty 1 VXR8 touring, the blue one used by Evo as a long termer (I think it was Evo?), owned by someone on here now I think who doesn't intend to sell.

So maybe as high as 1 in 26 million, maybe as low as no chance whatsoever

Vauxhall will happily bring in a brand new VXR8 GTS Estate for you if you're looking to order new. It has the supercharged LSA engine as standard now too!

But I don't expect that Darryl will be selling his VXR8 tourer anytime soon. It is the only one in Europe apparently, making it immensely rare

Strange old world. This is the 3rd person in 2 weeks I have seen asking for advice where to find an R8 Tourer, the other 2 people emailed me

your only chance is to import one yourself as R-kid (Darren) has no intention on selling his as he was waiting for VX to sell it asap

there are only 50 x R8 tourers for sale in the whole of Aus

gives you an idea but bear in mind + import duty and vat

Probably just me but I think it looks like an Audi with that extra boot

You'd hardly buy a VXR8 for its good looks though, would you ?

TBH, it took me a while to get used to the rear view as you approach it, especially coming from the saloon. not sure i'd compare it with an audi though

But sorry 2woody, as mentioned, I'm not selling.

I'm getting quite used to "liking" posts like this. So here goes:

OP if you got deep pockets maybe Dougie can bring you a new one in?
