Back in the fold having previously owned two VXT's. I always regretted selling my last VXT and after a few years of TVR ownership decided to buy another and it feels so good. Was looking for a VXT but ended up buying a VXR.
Cheers

They werent factory-fitted it might have been fitted by the dealer but more likely fitted elsewhere. They were on a Vauxhall VXR accessories list, the dealer had to order from Thorney Motorsport, who only wanted to supply 3 at a time, for a car that they were only going to build 65 units. Try having that conversation with the parts manager...Yep, factory-fitted Milltek. Welcome!..Not sure about the exhaust though, it has VXR etched on the tailpipe, is it a Miltek?

It was a T350C with a 4.3 rebuilt engine, awesome sound and performance but a money pit every time it went in for an annual service you could expect a large bill.

I actually meant Vauxhall accessory, yes (honest, guv..). 
How unlike Thorney to be a bit awkward??!

Hello,
Another Rogerstone based owner here, I've got a silver VXT. I can't believe how many owners are in such a small area. I've never seen a VXR in person!
