2002 OPEL SPEEDSTER SN: 3492 REG:ZNE409 VIN N0:WOLOEAR971N000642 ENG NO:Z22SETAO32040 $41,500 (Drive Away Price) ONE OWNER, WITH LESS THAN 13,000KM! When Lotus started development on the Series 2 Elise, General Motors offered a helping hand, funding the research and development. In return for GM's investment Lotus agreed to develop and produce a mid engined sports car on the Elise Chassis under GM branding. Built as an Opel Speedster for Continental Europe, and as a Vauxhall VX220 in the UK these targa topped 2 seater sports cars were powered by the 2.2litre all alloy ECOTEC engine (as used in the Holden/Opel Astra) boasting 145bhp and 149lb-ft, allowing it to be quicker to 100km/h than the Lotus Elise which it shares it's bonded aluminium chassis with! The striking bodywork was designed at Opel in Germany, under Chief Designer Nils Loeb (an Australian), and its certainly a sight to be seen, especially with the rarity on Australian roads. Its believed to be the only Opel variant in Australia, with a handful of Vauxhall's to slightly boost the numbers. Delivered new to Switzerland, where it was at home in the Swiss Alps, driving between lakes and vineyards. The Speedster after a period in storage went across to the UK where renowned specialists 'Plans Performance' completed a RHD conversion, before taking it for a test run on the famous Top Gear Test Track. Imported into Australia in 2013, the Opel was fully complied and road registered, and has continued it's sparing use, with a total of less than 13,000km on it's odometer (having travelled by boat near 17,000km to reach Australia). Offered for sale by it's one and only owner, with original Swiss plates, and on average less than 800km travelled per year this Speedster is not one to be missed! Advertised with Drive Away Price.
