Looks a bit odd when you see the state of the undertray behind it. Production line mishap?

or maybe he's got hold of a damaged one with the intent on a re-shell? there other VX bits in the background, but that chassis does look brand new, and its primered, not painted. you could maybe ask for a chassis number if anyone of you are actually interested in buying it? or you could just keep out of it :rolleyes: P.S. i t has NOTHING at all to do with me......

Keep out of what? I'd be really pleased if my VX had been stolen, if everyone on here kept out of it thumbsup

Being a forum, we're here to discuss things; and luckily the freedom of speech available in the country in which we live, supports this.

Without the community spirit on here, and the vigilance of members - VXR16 saga would never have been discovered; parts of the TMS race car wouldn't have been identified on eBay; damage to VXs which was going to be fixed and undeclared would never have been recorded - to name just a couple of examples. That's one of the aspects that makes this place wonderful Imnotworthy

its says brand new, & the sills are in primer, although i wouldnt think anyone would be stupid enought to sell it as brand new if it was a stolen & stripped car or if they had ground out the chassis numbers!

The very first post by Imran included his mobile number (which was edited by mods at Imrans request) was indeed 07811 106827 Luckily somebody quoted the mofo later on and the number stuck thumbsup What a plank, I mean honestly, after all that crap with VXR#16 he keeps the same mobile :rolleyes:
