Outstanding Calypso red VX220 Turbo for sale.

 

It’s a 2003 car with 63K miles - amazing condition.

 

Good features:

 

  • Spitfire uprated toe links
  • Hancook Ventus Evo tyres all round (as new)
  • New Mintex 1155 pads all round (less than 1,000 miles)
  • Racing brake fluid (less than 1,000 miles)
  • Carbon door cards
  • Milltek exhaust
  • Soft top (recently replaced cable)
  • Upgraded radiator
  • Pro-alloy intake pipe
  • Upgraded iridium spark plugs
  • Fast road geo set up (print out available)
  • Full service and MOT history with a folder of receipts

Weak points:

  • Occasionally difficult to engage reverse – have had it checked and there’s nothing worrying, just a bit stiff to engage.
  • Alloys are not in bad condition but would benefit from a refurb to bring the visual appearance of the car up to 100%. I can arrange this prior to collection at the buyers cost.
  • Small crack in bodywork on drivers side wing (shown in photos).

 

Sale also includes:

 

  • Matching hard top
  • Sub-woofer and remote
  • Fitted car cover
  • Exhaust sports cat (currently decatted but passes MOT no problem)
  • Original door cards
  • Spare key + remote
  • CTEK trickle charger
  • Fresh MOT and service prior to collection

The car is hugely reliable and wants for nothing other than to be driven. To my knowledge it has never been tracked and the visual condition would suggest it has never lived outside either… Paintwork is excellent; no signs of bubbling or osmosis and only a few age related marks and the usual front end stone chips that these cars pick up.

 

The previous owner had the cylinder head skimmed, head gasket replaced and timing belt changed so no major maintenance work is required for the foreseeable future. All of this work is detailed in receipts and print outs. For peace of mind I also had tuning specialists Ecotune perform a full engine inspection including compression test and dyno run when I bought the car. The graph shows a very healthy 211bhp – this is on the stock map.

 

The car is located in East Kilbride – just outside of Glasgow but I can meet within any reasonable distance or collect potential buyers from stations/airports. No test pilots but I will happily take serious buyers for a drive. More photos available on request - still to add interior shots.

 

The price is £14,750 but I will consider sensible offers.

 

Thanks for looking.

Lovely example Ross. Might be worth advertising on Scottish Elises too if you haven't already.

Good Spot! The previous owner to me was a design engineer so as a little project, he made a double drinks holder and the underside has a double, powered USB socket. The black controller on top is for the sub - controls crossover point, volume and phase.

MOT and service just completed on the car so it's good to go... have had a few offers of £13k but I'm afraid I won't go that low.

I will consider... £13.5k without the hardtop or £14k for the whole package!

Quick update - door cards sold separately and would consider selling the OEM hardtop separately.

 

Or, whole package for £13.5k as I'd like to see someone enjoy the car this summer!

Bump for an absolutely fantastic car - having seen this in the flesh it looks fantastic and drives beautifully.

Good luck with the sale, a bargain for someone and a solid investment to boot!

Just a quick bump on this - had lots of interest but no firm buyer yet so car still available!
