Rare 1989 Vixen SE Motorhome Surfaces With GM V6 Power

Few vehicles turn heads quite like a Vixen, and this 1989 SE is one of just 172 examples ever built. The low-slung, 21-foot motorhome carried genuinely futuristic styling when it was new, and even decades later it still stands apart from nearly everything else sharing the road.

Underneath the wedge-shaped body sits a 3.8-liter GM V6 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission — an unusually conventional drivetrain for such an unconventional machine. That combination is part of what makes the Vixen approachable for owners who want distinctive looks without exotic mechanical headaches.

According to the seller, this particular SE is being offered for sale, adding another chapter to the model’s small production run. With only 172 built, examples like this rarely come to market, and enthusiasts of oddball American engineering tend to pay attention when one does.

For collectors drawn to vehicles that defy easy categorization, a Vixen SE occupies a niche all its own: part motorhome, part sports car silhouette, and entirely a product of its era.
