⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

A proper touring car for the road, the Vectra ST3000 offers has all the styling, power, and noise you could want.

The late 1990s were a golden era for touring car racing, and few cars captured the imagination of enthusiasts like the Vauxhall Vectra SuperTouring. While the road-going Vectra may have been a familiar sight on Britain’s roads, the range-topping ST3000 offered a tantalising taste of the performance and attitude that made its racing counterpart so successful.

With its muscular 3.0-litre V6, purposeful styling, and sporting credentials, the ST3000 sits firmly in that sweet spot between everyday practicality and old-school performance. It is a car from an era when a fast saloon could still feel relatively understated, yet deliver plenty of character behind the wheel.

Today, these cars are becoming increasingly rare, making this 1999 Vectra ST3000 an intriguing reminder of Vauxhall’s performance ambitions at the turn of the millennium - and a fascinating piece of British motoring history.

Coming from over twenty one and a half years with our vendor, this ST3000 is one of three built with the Cadillac Catera 3.0-litre engine. The work was carried out by Motor Sport Developments (MSD) in Milton Keynes in June 1999, which designates this Vectra as a ST3000. It was originally supplied by Thurlby Motors.

When the car was sent to MSD, numerous modifications were made:

The new Cadilac Catera engine was stripped down and fitted with a Vectra sump, the flywheel was lightened by 9.7kgs The cylinder heads were gas flowed and valve throats reprofiled.

The exhaust ports were enlarged and the exhaust manifold was changed for a larger gas flowed one.

High lift cams were also fitted.

The ECU was remapped to produce 266b.h.p.

A BTB exhaust was fitted.

A limited slip diff was fitted.

AP racing 330mm front discs were fitted.

Recaro airpump seats fitted.

Suspension lowered and updated.

Body kit fitted.

The whole conversation to an ST3000 took around 200 hours.

The car was last serviced in June 2026 and has a current MOT, valid until 09.06.2027.
