If it's still for sale on October 15th ( When my work share option matures ) I'll buy it - under 10k - I'll take the pain from the wife at that kind of money

Why not give him a big deposit, then he has a guaranteed sale?

[Anarchy]

With hindsight and now knowing what these cars are all about I would happily buy a Cat# if I could see some history on here and a caring owner, would probably get a bargain and the longer you keep it the better value it would be. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I too would probably been scared to buy a car like this years ago.

BUMP Taking ARB off tonight or tomorrow night and seats will be in the car until sold and swapped at the last min if they are def not wanted. May even clean her lol DG

[rob999]

Selling the ARB Duncan? (or has it been sold separately?)

[old codger]

Car looks good, with plenty of mods, but no doubt cat c will put a lot of people off. Good Luck anyway.

Thanks for your comment - You obviously know more than I do about my personal finances and current disposable income levels

nice 5 door Saab with B234 engine perfect for loony bhp with a holset , followed by mid engine transplant , just tune it up on the saab beforehand.

[Duncan VXR]

Thanks Steve - could work I guess But easier and cheaper options for big power out there if going for another vx with diff engine option

[Harry0075]

Just spoke to DG, and the VX is on way down to the south of France to its new home, in typical horrible English weather! I wonder if it'll get spotted en-route out of the UK this afternoon. only on VX left in the car park now Dunc

[coople]

That would be mine that is left in Duncan's drive way

[Papy11]

Hey Guys, Just a quick one to let you know that I have now landed home, even had time to give myself and the car a wash. My Right ankle and foot are still not responding to my directives, must be the 985 mile journey! Learnt a lot about the car, like, don't try to look good getting in and out of it when people are watching! Duncan gave me fantastic support through the drive. thanks again. Well, I am a proud new owner, and now :sleepy::sleepy:

[rob999]

985? Is that all?!! Nice work though, you'll love the car (sounds like you've almost spent more time in it than other's have all year!!)

[Duncan VXR]

Steve Harry was refering to our work underground car park but yes your car is now the only black vx in the household and has one of those oe slow steering racks - quick racks are the daddy!! Car looked REALLY good turning off onto the M42 but really could not have gone to a nicer person! David is a true petrol head and know the car will get used and enjoyed, he even brought me some wine from his collection (6 in fact!) and the one I had last night was one of the best reds I have had for a while. Loved the fact he was planning on almost 1000 miles with no directions, tunnel booking but a back pack with sleeping bag, change of clothes true adventure stuff.....love it! And weather was about as bad as it could be for a vx let alone in a new car you have never driven & wrong side of road and not sure how long he slept but he was there in about 24hrs Once Steve's car is gone I think it will hit home with no car in the garage - good job zac is making me do some more indepth work on his to keep me going DG Cant wait to see the car with French number plate.....will look very cool
