[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]After 8 years of ownership, for sale you find my mint, low mileage VX220 Turbo.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Pre-registered by the dealer on 28th September 2004, the car was then sold to the first owner, and then purchased by myself after 6 months in 2005, so the car has only actually had two private owners. [/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]This car has been loved & cherished, but has become more of an ornament than a vehicle of transport, so figured it better to pass it on to someone who can use it as it was intended.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]I’m fortunate that I don’t need to ‘give it away’, so please consider the spec, condition and history of the car before deciding to come and the see the car and making me an offer that’s not befitting of what is an amazing example of what is becoming a very rare car, which is likely to appreciate over time if kept in the same condition. [/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Comprehensive service & maintenance record, supported by lots of receipts, which scare me when I work out what’s actually been spent on my car, but all work done by renowned specialists for VX220s, Lotus, sports & race cars. [/font]
