Spotted by a mate in Stephenson way at the weekend.
I don't like to judge, but assuming you know what I'm talking about, what are you thinking?!?!

The legend is back?
Almost worth owning 16 - it has so much back story.

Didn't realise that Imran's location was ever known.
Best thread in history.

I have a picture of it here.
I'm reluctant to post it up though, in case it hurts the car in the eyes of the Vx massive....
That and the fact I can't seem to post pictures on this site!!

I never knew the true story about how that car got damaged, and the original thread here never mentioned it.
But the PH thread did:
http://www.pistonhea...The Year!&mid=0
Hi, I owned VXR220 Number 16 registration GK54 ZZL (I changed the registration to J9 VXR)and had a rather catastrophic roll on the A26 Tonbridge bypass. The car was assessed by my insurance company and they valued the repairs at around 25K, the car was worth 25.5K at the time and so they wrote the car off. As far as I was concerned this was a catagory D write off. I bought a replacement VXR220 and put the J9 VXR plate on it, I still have the car now. I have read the full story and can only laugh at the statements that are being made by the seller concerning its history. It was in a very bad way when I last saw it as it hit a kerb side on very hard (hence the missing rear wheel which was shattered) and then proceeded to hit a tree after that. Significant damamge was also done when the recovery company put it back on its wheels. I must say though that I got out without a scratch, a very strong car! So if anyone sees this car for sale at any time avoid it at all costs, which I'm sure you all will after reading the 1000's of posts on this subject. One thing I didn't see was the latest registration number on the car, I'd be interested to know if it retained the original one from when I bought it, anyone have any photos of the original post as they have now been removed.

This was on a VXR plate, but not J9. I didn't assume it to be the same car.
Was definitely in for work though. Loads of primer on the front...

What are the chances of a different VXR being at his garage?

Do you have a pic of the reg plate? If so bob the reg on here... If it is the dreaded VXR16 then lord help anyone who buys this car.
Either that or there is a whole new chapter about to begin.

I have the Reg, but like I said, I'm reluctant to post it.
Whilst we might I'll know about Irman's dealings, I'm reluctant to irk the owner of said car when they may not know about it, and since I don't know them from Adam....
What do you think?

I've PMd who I believe to be (have been) the owner of the car based on the reg.
They haven't logged on for about 6 months though.
