Personally i wouldnt bother for the money.
I would look at an ST200 Vectra if your looking for somthing limited.

The 888 has this compared to the standard coupe turbo -
888 pedals
888 Gearknob
888 Spoiler
888 quick shift
888 clutch
Obviously the "kit"
OZ Wheels
888 Supension
Sparco front seats
Blue dash
The rear seats are standard coupe and look gash comparied to the rest.
Granted they are only 100 made - but personally they are not worth the extra money over a normal coupe.
If i wanted one it would be from a purists view and nothing else.
If not i would buy a coupe and use the cash to tune it.
The St200 Vectra - now that is special

Personally I think the 888 is a great looking car, that deserves to be left standard with only tuning goodies, bigger brakes and a nice stereo system!
The one in TV this month with the lambo doors is ruined IMO!
Their was apparantly 102 made but 12 of them have been written off already so maybe they will hold their value.. I can see it being as rare and sought after as the Nova sport in years to come.. ;-)

Can't believe how many of them have been ruined  (crashed and badly modded). Really wanted one but couldn't justify the premium price at the time...

Teddy, I tend to disagree. There were only 100 made and already 12 have been written off, with a massive number being gashed up with stupid modifcations.
I would own one all day long, probably will part ex my Coupe in 3 years time for one
To add to your list
888 pedals
888 Gearknob
888 Spoiler
888 quick shift
888 clutch
Ram air panel filter
Eibach shocks and springs
Obviously the "kit"
OZ Wheels
Sparco front seats
Blue dash

They look ok, altho bit of a half arsed effort if you ask me.
Are there really only 100 of them? Cos ive seen loads! front seats look gorgeous, the rears look like they ran out of budget. Colour is sexual 
Raced one @ the pod and beat him

They are supposed to be a totally different beast to drive compared to a standard coupe. I'd have one and trim the rear seats to match and leave it at that.

They will only sell you genuine 888 bits if you have the log book to prove you own one.

Cap Guide says they are worth £500 more than a std coupeT.
I would have one, although the build quality is very debatable.
