I was tempted to say Signum 2.8T.

Wash your mouth out 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The mighty 2.8T Signum is extremely rare......

Less than fifty left, at a guess.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I was tempted to say Signum 2.8T.

According to 'How many left'......just one 2.8T Elite remains. So my car is unique and very valuable.

Yeah, but that stupid site says my Jag is unique...

Erm...

My Signum is a 2.8T Elite, so mine must be unique as well?

So they are both unique then.

As a matching pair they must be worth even more.  

[BazaJT]

Yes as a matching pair they'd be worth 50p of nearly anyones money,instead of being worth 20p each singly

[Lizzie Zoom]

Yes, I've always said a matching pair is essential

I'm getting that one in before Lord Opti does

Vauxhall Omega Elite. 

Give this man a medal    I bought the mighty 3.2

I thought you said you'd bought a future classic 

Mike Brewer will buy one in 10 years time and flog it for £15k 

[dave the builder]

in 10 years time the Omega will be like carltons
not many about , but still not worth much money
the crappy fraud sierra in the father in laws garage on the other hand 
he won't get shot now i rebuilt the engine

MikeBrewer will go bang well before 10 years from now. He's a right porker.

Wheeler dealers have never had a Vauxhall on the show for some reason.

they steer clear of any car with rust

er ....
IIRC Edd china does not like the brand , though since his departure they did an Opel

Its nothing to do with like and don't like, its purely down to the fact Vauxhall have never made a truly iconic car.

Ask the general public and they will go through all number of Cosworth/ Lotus/ XR/ RS branded Fords, Mini's, Italian sports cars, Japanese turbo'd saloons even Swedish estates before very very few will mention the Lotus Carlton or Big Bertha, the only two half stand out cars, neither of which can be bought for sensible money and change hands with any regularity.

Even the VX220 turbo, a fantastic car, never had a Vauxhall written anywhere on it

I bet there's more people that have never even heard of a Cavalier turbo than have

Hence why make a program about a car no one gives a toss about either in Europe or the USA where the programs are made

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

They have done plenty of cars which weren't iconic, but a bit sporty or interesting. quite a few of the cars they did could have been substituted for the equivalent Vauxhall, so they obviously had something against them.
Golf GTi or Pug 205 GTi  could have been replaced by Astra GTE for example.
Also depends on your definition of iconic. It could be argued that Droopsnoot Firenza, Chevette HS, maybe even Mk3 Cavalier SRi, and certainly Lotus Carlton were iconic.
