Question 1

Is the Opel Speedster the same as the Vauxhall VX220?

Accepted Answer

Mechanically, yes—it’s the same Lotus-based platform. The Vauxhall VX220 was sold in the UK, while the Opel Speedster was targeted at mainland Europe. Badging and market-specific tweaks are the only real difference.

Question 2

How hard is it to find clean Opel Speedsters today?

Accepted Answer

In Europe, many examples have high mileage or track use. Japan offers better condition units via auction, often Grade 4 or higher, which ZervTek can help import and inspect.

Question 3

Are parts still available for the Opel Speedster?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The engine is the Z22SE Ecotec, shared with the Opel Astra and other GM platforms. Body panels and some Lotus-specific parts are rarer but still obtainable through specialty suppliers.

Question 4

Can ZervTek help me import one to Australia?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We ship regularly to Australia and understand the compliance and process nuances. You can start with our Import to Australia Guide.
