Launched in 1995 as the successor to the Cavalier, the Vauxhall Vectra marked GM’s push toward a more refined, safety-focused family car for the late Nineties.

Available in a wide range of trims and engines, the Vectra was at its best in the smooth and surprisingly punchy V6 variants, which offered a level of quietness and long-legged comfort that belied the model’s everyday image.

While most Vectras lived hard lives as fleet cars, taxis or motorway sloggers, the better-specified CDX and SRi versions have since become increasingly scarce, especially in unmolested condition.

Survivors are now gaining a small but enthusiastic following among those who appreciate a proper Nineties rep-mobile with a bit of character and a lot of nostalgia.
