Do I also spy abs cutoff and fan override switches jimbob?

Nope, there is a 3 gang 12v lighter socket and a red LED which is the remenant of a Clifford anti-hijack device which I took off. The LED still works though which is cool

No shennanigans.

Hi Jim Good to speak to you yesterday... I've joined the forum now... as I mentioned I will be seeing the Exige on Friday to see how I get along with that but your car is so tempting... Anyone out there prepared to tell me why I should go for a 293 BHP stage 4 VX220 rather than a 220 BHP Exige S? Max

Based on the mods this VX has it will do everything the exige does in corners and braking as well as nail it in a straight line. Less downforce is the only performance downside I can see (maybe some turbo lag too).

All for a good few ££ less as well.

ETA: actually might need a wheel/tyre upgrade to match exige handling, but it won't be far off. I know which I'd have

Saw the Exige and bought it... it was a one owner car with full history... loads of cash spent on it... good luck with yours, it really is nice and you seem like a very genuine person. Thanks for taking the time to speak to me last week... someone please buy this VX220 it's a bargain!

I am absolutely shocked that this is still for sale. It is absolutely immaculate!

As tempted as I am, no I won't be buying another one.

Can't believe it hasn't gone either. Quite ridiculous really. My theory is that people are put off by Stage 4 and mileage and don't have the readies. A Courtenay stage 4 is superb/reliable and the mileage is nothing for an understressed engine in these light cars. Thats why I bought it and it has nitrons and it has had the big service. Plus it looks mint! Perfect car for someone. If it doesn't go in the next week I'm going to keep itand might do a 'Steve A' - suspension refresh, rcl5's, TD1.2's, fit harnesses then sell it for £13,500 next spring and enjoy the meantime!

Hi Jimbob, Has this been tracked? Thanks Stu

[G-Bob]

Hi Jimbob,

Has this been tracked?

Thanks Stu

90% of them have at some point!

[MrSimba]

Gotta say I really cant belive this is still for sale?! A Moonland CS4 on nitrons with change from £12k... I'd keep it Jim!

[SteveA]

Hi Jimbob,

Has this been tracked?

Thanks Stu

IIRC James' car was tracked for the first time (quite tentatively I might add ) at the national this year. He is not like us hard core tack boys and doesn't like to hurt his car
