What is the Vauxhall Tigra?
The Tigra was a small, style-focused car from Vauxhall, the British counterpart of German maker Opel. The later Tigra TwinTop was a two-seat coupé-convertible with a folding metal roof, giving it a coupé profile with the roof up and open-air driving with it down. Its two-seat cabin gave it a more personal feel than a family hatchback.
Tigra generations
The original Tigra (1994–2000) was a small coupé based on the Opel Corsa B, with a distinctive curved rear window. The second generation, the Tigra TwinTop (2004–2009), replaced the coupé shape with a two-seat convertible and retractable hardtop.
