MOT – March 2027 Introduced in the 1990s as Vauxhall's stylish compact coupé, the Tigra offered distinctive looks, nimble handling and low running costs, making it one of the era's most recognisable small sports coupés.

Today, surviving examples have become increasingly scarce, particularly those that remain in original specification.

First registered in 1999, this example is finished in silver with a contrasting grey cloth interior and has covered just 83,919 miles from new.

Fitted with the desirable five-speed manual transmission, it offers an engaging driving experience while retaining the practicality and ease of ownership that made the Tigra so popular.

The car is accompanied by its original book pack, with the service book showing seven recorded service stamps.

The supplying dealer is noted as Carringtons of Chiswick, London, with the most recent recorded service carried out at 75,367 miles.

It also benefits from an MOT valid until March 2027.
