1979 Vauxhall

Super clean Vauxhall Chevette HS2300, designed to homologate the International rally car for Vauxhall, built in low numbers with distinctive silver paintwork and red tartan interior. With so few built and even fewer remaining on the road, we don't believe you will find a lower mileage or better condition car in the country! This true homologation special was built as the road version of the rally car. Rumour has it that less than the required 400 road going cars required to validate the rally car actually rolled off the production line however this was overlooked in period. Low production numbers, and the fact that many were used as road rally cars and had a hard life mean that very few now exist and fewer still in the condition of this fabulous example. With 3 long term owners and a virtual full service history this car was purchased by the penultimate owner, a Maserati collector, as the perfect candidate for a restoration. The car was rebuilt at the collector's favoured Maserati specialist and painted to the standard of the other cars in his collection where it sat once completed. This car was treated to a no expense renovation not usually associated with cars of this value and was found to be largely original with very little metalwork required reinforcing the initial assessment made that it was a good basis from which to start. Furthermore It was then returned to bare metal and re-painted in its original colours with the correct decals applied. In virtually concourse condition with low owners and great documented history, 42,129 miles and large recent bills, this is one of the best of type available having being prepared to an incredibly high standard. Garage Sportique offer for sale a rarely seen, true driver's road rally car in a condition commensurate with a car multiples of this cars value.
