After 8 years in the VX fold I'm moving on. This is my second VX (first was a 2.2), and I've owned it since Aug 2008.

 

Here are the details:

Sept 03 2.0 Turbo.

Build number 6890

Calypso Red

Anthracite wheels (no curbing)

V22 OXT personalised plate

Just about to hit 72k miles.

HPI clean, no finance, no CAT status.

Red/black leather seats, touring pack

Alpine X100 stereo with iPod connector, Kenwood amp behind seats

Larini back box (pre cat also removed).

Gaz Gold Pro shocks (originals available)

Carbon sill guards

Carbon sill covers

Carbon dash plates

Carbon handle guards

Scanguage II

Flocked dash with integrated boost gauge 

Rear splitter

Espace spray bar wiper

VW wiper relay

Pro alloy intake pipe

Black vinyl windscreen surround

Black filler cap

Black V (could probably do with a respray)

MOT until 27 December 2014

Tax until 31st October 2014

Full service history

Timing belt/water pump changed November 2013

Good tyre tread

HID headlights

Roof re-waterproofed 2 months ago

 

Downsides:

There is a crack in the fibreglass behind the left turbo ear, see picture.

The water pump seized in October 2013 and damaged the valves. Engine had a full rebuild with all new valves (£1500).

The driver side seat bolster is pretty worn (like most VXs).

I'm in Belfast, but close to the city airport and ferry port.

 

With a little TLC this can be a fantastic example of a turbo. I know the fact it has a small fibreglass crack and has had an engine rebuild might put a few people off, and the price has been set to reflect this. 

 

Price £7500

 

PM me for contact details

'Flocked' dash looks more like it's been covered with an Alcantara type fabric? Seems like a nice well priced example which may well tempt a buyer on an NA sort of budget to take the step up to a tubby. :)

Because I want to sell it ;-)

I found before when I was selling my NA that the little stretch of water between me and most of the buyers seemed to be quite a deterrent. I had to drop the price a few times and ended up selling it locally.

 

This one has hardly been driven over the winter. And I recently got a mid-engined rwd car from Stuttgart to replace it...

I don't see the engine rebuild being an issue if everything has been sorted?! Good luck with the sale by the way!

This is an incredibly cheap good looking car. I'd wish you good luck but I don't think you'll need it, this will sell in no time.
