The Drift Limo That Breaks All The Rules

This epic six-door, eight-seater limo drift missile packs 220bhp of tire-shredding goodness, making it the UK’s quirkiest bargain drift car on the market.

You know what they say – more doors, more *ahem*… friends. Seven of them, to be precise!

As keen enthusiasts of sideways action, the “Keep Drifting Fun” era was our favorite. You could throw a few hundred bucks (or quid) at a beater destined for the scrap heap before turning it into the ultimate tire slayer with a handful of DIY mods.

However, with prices for seemingly anything powered by the rear wheels shooting through the roof in recent years, drift missiles are now less common than ever. Instead, marketplaces are filled with “I NO WOT I’VE GOT” ads, where sellers insist on fueling their triple-price markup with pure rage.

Fear not – it’s not all doom and gloom, and there’s still hope for those looking for a unique, cheap drifter! We present the UK’s latest drift bargain that’ll turn you into a six-door Casanova.

This Isn’t Your Typical Drift Car (Or Marketplace Ad)

Not only do we already have far too much love for this absolute weapon, but the Facebook ad is also a thing of joy in itself, delivering some top-class British humor:

“Do you have at least 7 friends?

Do you like the feeling of disturbing the peace?

Does unreliability make you weak at the knees?

If you answer yes to just one of those questions, this is the car for you.”

The 3.2-liter V6 powerplant under the hood of the 2003 Vauxhall Omega limo produces 220 horsepower with a factory-fitted Limited Slip Differential (LSD), providing enough oomph to spin the skinny steel rear wheels – perfect for enjoying “Mexico’s” roundabouts.

As for mileage, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear that despite being 21 years old, it has only covered 59,000 miles. Saying that, with all things considered, it’s probably not the most convenient daily driver.

You Might Need To Make Some Compromises

If you’re wondering whether the suspension’s broken, thankfully, it’s not! It’s been lowered by 70mm, and with no further information, we’re praying it’s not got chopped springs.

However, given that it has 30mm spacers fitted (yes, thirty), we’re not holding out too much hope! Still, at least it provides the ultimate stance – assuming wheels lost in the fenders are your idea of perfect fitment.

After slamming it, the owner realized the exhaust hits the floor on almost everything, so he decided it’d be better off without it.

“The exhaust used to hit the floor so I cut it off. It’s loud.”

With this in mind, the new owner will likely need to find himself a friendly emissions tester and invest in a bulk buy of earplugs for each of the eight potential occupants.

Still, at least the gearchanges should be nice and smooth, just as Vauxhall intended, right?

“It’s also in semi automatic mode all the time so you feel like Verstappen banging it into gears.”

Ah. Maybe not.

On a positive note, the impeccable salesman knows his target market well, stating:

“you’ll be banging a lot more than gears when you turn up in this bad boy.”

Things Get Classier In The (Extended) Cabin

If you thought it looked classy(ish) from the outside, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

You’re treated to two rows of seating in the back, each with its own door. Only the finest materials are used. As the salesman puts it, “smooth leather for all 16 cheeks you’ll be carrying.”

Jokes aside, we can imagine that this once showcased true British luxury, with its elegant wood trims and comfy, spacious layout. Things have clearly changed over the years, though, and we wouldn’t recommend taking UV lights for the viewing.

The “leather” in the front looks rather cloth-like, but you’ll likely be grateful for it when throwing it sideways rather than ending up in the passenger seat on the slippy leather. For added hilarity, you can enjoy the expressions of the not-so-lucky backseat passengers in the rear-view mirror.

If you fit a GoPro in the back, you could film your antics and publish them on YouTube. Once you’ve gone viral, the list price of just £1,500, which is under $2,000 USD at the time of writing (yes, that’s all!), will pay for itself in earnings – surely it’s a no-brainer?!

Once you’ve made the (inevitable) purchase, make sure you drop us a message. We’d like to become your new best friends.
