So I feel I've come to the end of the VX road and it's with a heavy heart that I've finally decided to sell up.
I bought her from TMS back in 2007 (I am the third owner) and I've had a fantastic 9 years of ownership. With the help of Vocky, Batman and MBR, I've taken her from the original TMS iTB development car to a very well sorted track orientated VX. MoT until April 2018. She does not have a dealer service history as TMS weren't able to provide one when I bought her but I do have lots of parts receipts. She is not a cat car.

The bad bits
I have had 2 accidents but the car is not an insurance write off in any way, only cosmetic damage. The rear clam has been completely resprayed and both cills replaced with brand new OEM parts. The front clam has 14 years of stone chippings and trackday damage although it doesn't look too bad. When the cills were replaced the bodyshop decided to spray them after installing and didn't mask off the underside of the car so there is some overspary over the underside.
Drop me a PM if interested. I'm located near St Albans, Herts
