Hi Guys, looking for some guidance. Pictures are on my photo bucket account. Its the red one, 

 

The VX is going up for sale :0( you may have seen one of my posts, im in the middle of a new build project and I need a cash injection. Im in no mad rush to sell, really looking for excuses not to sell. Im likely to run out of funds early March and would need it gone by then. I bought the car with a loan, ideally like to get the best price to help me cover the finance interest that I have accumulated.  Seems a waste to have it sit there doing nothing. No doubt as soon as I finish this build I will be remortgaging to fund a another vx, and would love the option to buy it back. It’s my 3^rd vx in under 2 years ;0) im hooked and by no means my last.

 

What do you think its worth, ive  seen high power vx220's selling for 28k+ plus in Europe.  ive attached a few pics. 48k on the clock, the full build thread can be viewed on the forum.

 

-Wheels are mint, carbon turbo ear.Really nice extended carbon rear spoiler. Loads of carbon fibre interior, Pods gauges, cup holder.

 

- I've only taken it out 4 times since buying it, just don’t have the time due to building a new house, and also only had it insured on a day insure policy.

 

Murders anything on the road. Lotus evora S didn’t stand and chance, failed miserably... the look on his face :0), S3, M3 and even a Porsche turbo couldn’t keep up. Really is the fastest thing I have ever experienced. And such an easy drive for 470bhp, holds the road well, there more power available I capped it at 470 as it was plenty for me, the engine has been built to last and can take more power. One word King of the Road without a doubt, with looks that will kill. My 2^nd trip the car got so many positives comments, its loud and proud, sorry if this sounds like a sales ad, but I really love this car to bits. Been a short love affair for me.

 

Heres Richards old ad. The cost to build this was above 20k with taking the 46k donor car or any of the research development, labour and extra’s such as the  carbon/wheels etc etc .

 

[color=rgb(40,40,40);][font="helvetica, sans-serif;"]cost just spiraled as with all projects like this! I have between 28-30k in this car so for someone wanting serious power without all the hard work then this is it![/color][/font]

Engine is currently fitted with a 2.7 pulley and has produced in excess of 500bhp! Graph to prove. Currently backed of to a comfortable 470bhp. The car is amazingly quick as you can see has been built with no expense spared! 

 

 

Improvements points

Body work has a few marks blemishes around it and the front is quite stone chipped etc, and a couple of cracks, not a single sign of any bubbling anywhere to be seen. Which is really good and surprising to see. it seems this car has escaped it. Judging by the condition the Cars spent most of it life in a garage. Really looks nice.

 

[color=rgb(40,40,40);][font="helvetica, sans-serif;"]I lost the accelerator pedal twice in my ownership error message  P1271 [/color][/font], never came back, never felt the need to investigate further.

 

[color=rgb(40,40,40);][font="helvetica, sans-serif;"]Front windscreen fitted a little off centre, hence the hardtop has a gap, again never bothered me, and really didn’t have the time to readjust the screen. Common issues when replacing the windscreens.[/color][/font]

[color=rgb(40,40,40);][font="helvetica, sans-serif;"]I bought a race logic traction control unit for it, just haven’t had the chance to fit it. Will supply it with the car.[/color][/font]

I have just sold mine for nearly the asking price , You have to study what is for sale at this time price it to take into account of the extra costs added to your car

It's a unique car and would say it's a unique buyer But if it's at the right price it will fly out window

[ArticMonkey]

It's such a small market. You'd be better off selling it to Europe if you want your money back. Some how people think spending £27k on a vxr is good value but then again they will hold their price when they come to sell which isn't any loss. At a guess you'd be lucky to get £18k in the uk. It's finding that one person who wants all the mods on the future for a discounted price. Good luck with the sale.

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

15-18k

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

It might be worth more on bits

[172Cup]

How can we see your photobucket? I want to see what this beast looks like

I think you'd be better with more headline technical details to make it clear its a 2.4L Harrop supercharged car, with completely rebuilt engine etc. - just that those who don't know all the details about what's involved in the engine build.
