I am going to be in Europe with my girlfriend next spring, and will be actively looking to see a VXR8 in person. I have already begun to look for Vauxhall dealers that might be "on the way" to visit. I will be coming into London, with a couple of nights in Canterbury before heading thru the Chunnel to France and on thru Luxemburg to Germany, and a drive on the Nurburgring. I hope that VXR8s in England aren't as rare as G8 GXPs here in the US, but I suspect they are. If you have a VXR8 and are in the part of England, please let me know!

Also there's a mob called Everyman Racing who used to have a VXR8 which could be taken on a joyride but I don't see it on their website any more. One of the vids was posted at:

Thanks for the tip!

VXR8's are rare here. Be sure to call the dealers first be for popping in because not all of them are dealers of the VXR8. Its sort of like the ZR1 in the states, not all Chevy dealers can sale them.

sales of VXR8's are very limited in the UK, due to not meeting their emission laws.

this is probably even worse in London, with congestion charges and the price of fuel....

i'd suspect most VXR8 sales are outside the major cities?

Well I fly out in 15 days, and am still hoping to at least accidentally spot one of these while I am there!

Any luck?
