Hi guys been seriously looking now for over a couple of months but all the cars I've seen do seem to be a little rough.....have looked at one that was for sale from the forum and also one for sale on autotrader at union jack cars, both not quite mint enough....I have cash waiting for the right car, as most I prefer black but will consider other colours if the condition is top notch, sorry no yellow as I work at jcb and I'm sure someone would put a big jcb decal on the bonnet!!!!!!

What about project beef? Seems a well documented re build of a very nice Well modded car I know it is a fair way away but might be worth A look being advertised on eBay and on here ( blue)

Budget is 12k. Mint is how I'd expect to find a car as tho I'd owned it, looked after, straight and free from knocks.....has anyone seen the car from union jacks on the autotrader he's down to 12500 which isn't cheap seeing its got a bubbling clam and a few marks here and there.....

There's a few on Ebay which looked good, and asking fair money for what is becoming increasingly rare - a reasonable mileage, well maintained, unmolested car in good condition. At 12K your over the 50K+ milers, but you're not going to get a perfect car. You'll need to expect some bodywork imperfections and maintenance gaps.

..good looking ones may be a heap of Sh*te underneath.......buyer beware

Registered over 5 years ago. VX production stopped in 2004, so that's 8 years at a minimum.

Not many of us moonland owners about i think only 76 were made so they are very rare yours like mine is a standard low mileage 2 owner only. mine is a 54 plate with 29K miles and has never been on track either. I would want a minimum of £13K but i have no intention of selling
