VAUXHALL is to produce a Vivaro Sportive special edition.

Taking the concept from the original Astravan Sportive, the Vivaro Sportive comes with alloy wheels, air-conditioning, radio/CD player, front fog lights and silver metallic paint.

Glacier white, flame red and midnight black are alternative no-cost paint options. Built by Vauxhall sister company IBC Vehicles, 50 of the niche models are planned to be built a month, based on the short-wheelbase 2700 panel van 1.9 DTI with a six-speed gearbox. It costs £14,225 excluding VAT.
