History

The Vectra B, was introduced in 1995, and the model range included an estate version for the first time. This model replaced the Vauxhall Cavalier in the UK. The Vauxhall badged Vectra B was the last Vauxhall to be produced at the company's Luton plant, where the end of automobile production was announced at Christmas 2000, taking effect just over a year later.


The model was badged as the Holden Vectra in Australia and New Zealand. In 1998, Holden began assembly of the Vectra for export to other right-hand drive markets in the region, although this was aversely affected by the Asian economic crisis, and ended in 2001.



Engines started from the 71 PS (52 kW) 1.6 L, Family 1 but eventually the 8-valve engines were all replaced by 16-valve powerplants. The 2.0 L Family II engine, with 136 PS (100 kW) was developed as a basis for touring car racing (later in Australia, 2.2 L 108 kW), but the top of the line was a 2.5 L V6 with 170 PS (125 kW). Diesel power came once again from Isuzu, but now featured direct injection and a 16-valve head.


In 1999 the Vectra was updated, receiving a mildly modified body (that can be identified by the single piece headlight units and body-coloured bumpers) together with somewhat improved handling characteristics and better equipment.

Bying


I bought this car exactly year ago. And decided to fix it up. The car original mileage was 149000 and was previously owned by some boy racer. As I loved the colour I could not sell it on. YES the only reason I kept it it was because of its colour and also that  I always give up on every car that I owned previously . So here we are , as going true Internet various pages I could not find enough information to transform my beautiful car. So I decided to make an blog and keep YOU updated on progress of OPEL VECTRA B 1997.

Some bad points :
  • Engine - Smoky , Oily and lack of power
  • Suspension
  • Brakes
  • Body

The car overall look isn't the best that's why I decided to bring this car back to life.
