Vauxhall VX220 2.2 16v

 

Calypso Red

2001 / 51 Plate

 

CURRENT REG: DN51YOY
Previously Registered as: OXI191 , WH51TAM  &  S14OTT

Build Number: 1319

 

HPI CLEAR.

 

I bought the car at the beginning of May last year with just under 61,000 miles on the clock. It has been my daily since and now has 84,503 on the clock.

The service history book was last stamped at 60,311 just before I bought it. In the past year I have looked after the car myself- oil & filters have been changed regularly- plenty of receipts to prove.
File full of receipts, old mots, tax discs, factory recall certificates, service sheets, service books/handbooks.
 

The MOT expired at the beginning of July and I took the car off the road for a month to carry out a few jobs before it's MOT-
 

New parts just fitted last week..

Toyo Proxes T1R 225/45/17 (Rear) & Toyo Proxes PX4 195/45/17 (Front)

EGR Blanking Plate & Z22SE EGR Cheater

OEM Header Tank (system drained, flushed and long life anti-freeze added)
Outer Rear Toe Link Ends

Exhaust nuts/bolts
Stainless Steel Under Tray fasteners/bolts

Grooved & Dimpled Discs (front & rear)
Mintex Pads (front & rear)
S/S Fuel Cap Bolts
Oil, Fuel & Air Filters
Fresh Oil

Shock absorber nuts/bolts

 

I've also just fitted a set of excellent condition Bilsteins from a lower mileage 2.2.

 

Interior
Black Cloth Seats

OEM Alloy Centre Brace
OEM Alloy Gear Knob
OEM Alloy gear selector surround
Dash Fascia wrapped in Satin Black

Alpine CD/MP3 Head Unit

Alpine Speakers
VX220 Over Mats

I recently fitted one of Fred666's carpet sets. This carpet set makes it much more pleasurable to drive if you plan on using the car every day as I have. It quietens it down immensely inside and adds warmth to the cockpit- so much that I can actually feel the OEM heater doing it's job.

 

Exterior
Calypso Red
Window surround painted Satin Black
Wheels finished in Satin Black
Exhaust tips painted Satin Black
 

 

Engine

EGR Removed otherwise it's as it came from the factory.

Water ingress kit fitted in engine bay.

 

 

Bad Points
Some wear to the bolster on the driver's seat. Has been restitched so doesn't look too bad.

Front end could do with a respray if you want it as shiny as the rest of the car. It has quite a few chips but I have touched them up and it's not too unsightly...

Some marks to the door cards from the seat belt getting jammed when closing the door...

 

 

FULL MOT (It passed on Friday)
Taxed until end of September

 

 

£6950 ono

Jump in and go...

 

 

Spare parts included;

Full set of Turbo Bilsteins (fronts ok but all could do with rebuild)
Full set of GAZ Nickel Coilovers (Need rebuild)
OEM front & rear discs- used but have lots of life left
A second standard Air Box

 

 

 

All photos taken this evening..

Thought this might be the first vx I drove in 2004 http://www.vx220.org...167-project-jg/ but it was DN51YUY what are the chances of near identical car with such similar registrations :)
