Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare Vauxhall Chevette HSR DTV works rally car (XEG 550X) driven by Russell Brookes, a significant piece of rallying history. It comes with the correct 2.3 Engine, matching Roll-cage and chassis numbers, an extensive works spares package, and its original Andrews - Heat for Hire livery. The car was restored in 1999 and has been well-maintained since.
Condition

While the car has been restored and maintained in superb condition since 1999, its history of competitive rallying and subsequent storage period suggest that it may not be in perfect 'Pristine' condition.

However, the car's use in rallies implies that it may have some minor imperfections or signs of wear despite the restoration efforts.
