I wrote this ad as a way of convincing me not to sell up.........I'm not sure if it has worked!!
After three really enjoyable years of VX220 ownership, it is time to move the old girl on. This car has been a daily driver and has never skipped a beat, never let me down. Here it is:-
VX220 2.2 NA in Europa Blue with Biscuit leather interior.
Non CAT car. This car has not been written off, nor tracked by me (I can't vouch for the previous owners!)
2003 (03) on private plate (which comes with sale)
Full service history
69600 miles (will rise as the car is being used daily)
Gaz Gold Pro shocks
Side engine mounts replaced along with front and rear Powerflex mounts (none will need replacing again)
Timing chain and all ancillaries replaced by a specialist (Vocky) in Feb 2015
2.4 manifold
Ported throttle body
Piper cams fitted; the car was remapped to accept the cams and was rolling roaded at 161.5 bhp.
ITG Maxogen induction kit
2bular catback exhaust system
Dbilas exhaust manifold
TAT rear diffuser
Front turbo splitters
Uprated heater fitted Sept 2013 – this makes a great deal of difference to the enjoyment of the car
HID lighting
Lotus Europa alloys
Engine rain cover/splash guard
Soft top in great condition with liner (soft top recently cleaned and re-waterproofed)
Pioneer DAB radio and DAB windscreen aerial fitted; Infinity speakers fitted
It will come with an outdoor cover
Spare oil seals will be provided. These are obsolete and have been re-manufactured by an enthusiast.
There is stonechip rash on the front of the car which is to be expected as it is a daily driver, there are a couple of small marks which have been touched in on the rear arches and the drivers side seat bolster is worn. The inner drivers side sill is cracked and has been covered, but I have a replacement saved back for when I finally moved the car on.
It is a fantastic car in every sense, I have really enjoyed my time with it but I have to buy a 'family' car now.
Separately negotiable with the prospective buyer will be a matching 'alcantara' lined hardtop, 2.2 alloy wheels in gloss black with good tyres, and a number of spares (gear cables, interior spares etc.)
I will be looking for £8500 and the car can be seen near Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Pictures to follow.
PS Please ignore the obvious bits; the ad was written for the mainstream classifieds.
