It looks a bit like Colmar Blue, but colmar was a flat colour rather than metallic right?

Target Cars unfortunately do not have a good reputation. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that that VX had been written off, and resprayed a different/wrong colour in its repair. There's one or two threads on PH about them.

(Although they did buy my Dad's straight Esprit with no hassle. The weak pound means a lot of sub £10k cars are crossing the channel)

It's a ducth company that imports a lot of rhd's. As they do not put them on registration, you can only testdrive them on their lot. (which is really weird, as he also does 140k ferrari's) Most here avoid them like the plague, despite the cheap cars.

That's some big ass air dam on the front of the car. Looks much bigger than other options I've seen. :unsure:

Standard Astra G front splitter. Had one on mine for 4 or 5 years now. Very effective (probably too effective without a rear wing) and rubber so protected against most damage. I can barely get the toe of my shoe under mine and it is still in one piece.
