[Blue VXR # 65]

Trying to establish how many VXR's are still on the road, to my calculations there must have been at least 5 written off so far and by my calculations that is about 7% of the total manufactured. Just a thought as Geoff Lowe has just said that with all the VXR's that are now beeing totalled at this time of year will this effect the value of the remaining ones? Is there any way we can start a list of VXR owners and numbers that are still with us... here's a start (i know it is a little macabre, but interesting). #65-nathan (safely wrapped up in the garage for winter).

#37 Just fitted new 48's after a week in the snow and muck with a pair of pencil erasers. I think it is still there underneath this weeks muck and spray!

[djegiant]

Anyone got a crashed one? Im after a spoiler and front splitters?

[vxr36]

Mine is still going strong and used daily. Getting new 48's on Thursday from Plans so taking it gingerly with 1.6mm on rears. Why do you wan the VIN number?

[Ratspants]

Trying to establish how many VXR's are still on the road, to my calculations there must have been at least 5 written off so far and by my calculations that is about 7% of the total manufactured.

Just a thought as Geoff Lowe has just said that with all the VXR's that are now beeing totalled at this time of year will this effect the value of the remaining ones?

A bunch of the Lightnings have also been written off and this hasn't had any effect on their value (despite being yellow ). I don't think the price of VXRs will go up either just because they have an increased predisposition to spin off the road in the wet.

In fact, quite a lot of VXTs and VXNAs get trashed at this time of year and prices are still falling through the floor...

Why do you wan the VIN number?

Surely they are all the same anyway but with a different build number on the end?
