Must be one of the very first vxt's that one....

Yep. As is mine and could well be a former press car too. Mine is and has an MW52 reg plate and i suspect that Vauxhall re-registered them on MW52 plates when they sold them on.

Whereabouts are you in Essex? I spotted a 52 car in Tiptree around lunchtime today. I was turning into New Road near Barclays and the car was the other side of the fire station. My wife also spotted a 52 car (an 'unusual' colour) today at the airfield at Easthorpe. She mentioned that the driver was giving it the beans down the long straight. Was wondering if we both spotted you?

It's great as my daily drive, although it did take a few weeks to get used to it. Now it's everything else that feels strange to drive. I bought my car at the start of winter two years ago and it was a bit difficult to adjust at first. The heater didn't work and the locks would freeze when I came back to it in the evenings. I sorted the heater with help from the forum and I now have a lock up garage at the station, so it's always nice and clear whatever the weather. It's a keeper for sure - I'm sure you'll feel the same once you've been driving yours for a while (if not already?)

I commute between Tiptree and Kelvedon station daily, so I drive right past the entrance to your place. Will keep my eyes peeled.
