Are you looking for a pacific model?


Hardly an Ocean liner!


Is there a particular varient you want to give a wide berth?

And a good time to buy at the moment as the average price seems to have sunk.

If it helps the best thing I ever did was buy a VXT220, I used to own Evos and was lucky to own some very nice high powered examples but always wanted a vx as my brother in law kept raving about them. In November I brought Trevskis stage 3.5 tuned VXT and all I can say is GO BUY ONE, its the best adrenaline rush you can have 6 inches of the ground :D

Hi Guys, Another newbie and looking at getting a VX220 turbo. Found a nice one that's had some good stuff done at Thorney. Spoken to them and sounds well sorted. Just wondering if anyone on here has been previous owner or come across it before, reg KU06 NDP. Anything appreciated. Cheers

I think that ones been discussed recently, have you or can you get a build number (the last 4 digits of the VIN) do a search on here, might be an idea to open a new thread ;)

http://www.vx220.org...se/page__st__20 It's been up for sale for a while to be honest. I've not personally seen it, I believe it's not a 'mint' VX however for the right price (and remap) you'll have a very quick car. Depends what you're after with your search...

Cheers guys, any ideas if it's been up for sale since before dec? After something quick with good handling. Concern with Elise is the kick is at the top of the revs so need to keep it up there. Previous cars na, M3 & 4.2 Cerbera, so after performance and wanted Elise/Exige for a while (exige out of budget at moment), if I don't do one of these soon then I'll deem them too impractical. Need to get out & drive both obviously, waiting for a clear day
