Right then....£7.5k

 

117k miles...don't be put off, complete new engine at 67k

New uprated clutch, lightened fly, new slave at the same time as above

Viper intake

Full service history

All MOT's

Full Miltek exhaust

Stage 2+map

GAZ nickels

Full suspension refresh...bushes, toe links, 4xhubs, disks, pads, powder coated wishbones, geo etc (circa £3k I think)

New handbrake cables

Steinmetz grille

TD TMS 16/17 no spigots

Frogman seats (cost circa £900)

DtT dash, dash top gear gator

Carbon dash plates, escutions, etc

Full carpet set

4x pretty new Kumhos ku39s

pretty decent stereo in there

new (after 1k) upgrade alli rad from the batman

I'll throw in an indoor cover too :)

 

I'm sure I must have missed loads. I've ummed an ahhed about this for a bit (and SWMBOB has told me not to)

 

For the good/bad bits see my tinkering thread

 

Probably one of the last one owner VX's out there (bar it being Vauxhall owned for 3k before I bought it)

 

If it doesn't sell for a firm £7.5k I'm going to take it apart and sell it in bits

No idea :(

 

One half of me doesn't want to sell it, but my common sense side says it needs to go because it doesn't get driven nearly enough

No idea :(   One half of me doesn't want to sell it, but my common sense side says it needs to go because it doesn't get driven nearly enough Feel exactly the same about mine It just sits in the garage most of the time as I am either to busy or the weather is crap But I keep trying and can't bring myself to sell it on ☺️

Only sell if your strapped for cash, if not, keep it and enjoy the times you do take it out on the road / track.

 

Make time, even a few hours a blast Sunday morning. :wub:

Half the problem tbh mbes I cant track it, any sort of accident at speed would most likely break my back :( And driving it on weekends isn't enough Pics on the weekend (if it isn't raining/snowing)
