VAUXHALL FIRENZA DROOPSNOOT

2-door 4-seater coupé.

Not the same as your average Firenza, and much more desirable today if only because of its rarity. Same basic style as earlier Firenzas, but with special 'droop-snoot' nose, bootlid spoiler and wheels. 131bhp from a tuned engine gave 114mph top speed, while gear-changing was by courtesy of the rugged rally-type ZF five-speeder. (Remember, too, that this nose went onto 200 Magnum 'Sports Hatch' estates in 1975).
