How much is the vectra gsi on insurance compared to the golf? I'd have thought it would be more expensive?

Hate to burst your bubble but all Vectra GSI's were made by MSD apart from the later 2.6 cars which were made in house by Vauxhall.

The whole MSD thing came about as over the years some cars lost the slam panel sticker / spec plate.

And they made a lot more than 3000, estates were a lot rarer.

Thay made 3900 + but estates were rare in the mk1 they only made 317 cars in total, ST200 was 24 cars in total.

They were all converted from standard cars by MSD in Swindon, engine mods were simple really they just fitted the cams from the 3.0.
