Maths not being my strong point (although I can add up pies) the fact that VXR00 exists doesnt that make 66 cars in total?, why did they make this odd number (was it to stop me having 69?) why not 50 or 100 etc.
I am bored at work can you tell?
Darren...
00 was the pre-production car.
65 cars IIRC because 50+15=65

Oh yeah the reason

Mine although being No.49 was part of the 15, hence registered March 05.

Oh yeah the reason, something to do with type approval, 50 cars had to be registered before customer delivery, car was built & then had a few bits changed & it saved on getting the car re-type approved. 15 cars (but I don't know where this number came from, but remember that it had to be a very small No., can be built & bypass type approval), could be sat around (in showrooms) as VXR's without being registered.

Ahh it all becomes clear, sort of lol.
Mine was originally owned by the guy that owns Thurlby motors as far as Im aware, and Ive been led to believe it was just a show piece in his showroom/collection for a while so dont quite know if it was in the original 50 or the other 15.
Its an 04 plate and its registered address was Thurlby hall not quite Beckingham palace lol, I think Thurlby were involved with the Vauxhall touring cars at one point.
This is like a family tree lol, nice to know the history of ownership etc.
