Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1998 Vauxhall Tigra Chequers is a low-mileage (28,000) example with only one owner from new and a lovely history including original order form and many MOTs. While it has some signs of previous paintwork and would benefit from a polish, it presents well and is completely factory standard, making it a desirable starter classic.
