Car Summary:-
She has never missed a beat in the 9 years i have owned her, apart from the expected and usual problems incurred by a low battery due to her being a fair weather weekend car. This problem was easily eradicated with the purchase of an Accumate Optimiser (battery maintenance and trickle charger).

She has attended many meets and is well known for her throaty exhaust note (she now sounds as good as the vx looks.) Filling the inside of the cockpit, the dbilas manifold sucks and hisses accompanied by the bass booming roar of the itg's carbon fibre induction kit feeding it. On exiting through a sports cat fed vauxhall sports exhaust (vse) burbling and popping and shouting, it's presence and intentions are equally well known.

The complete and genuine sports car experience that will make the sensual input of a standard vx pale in comparison. Of course, if preferred, I can fit a standard exhaust back on prior to sale.

She has always been very well looked after inside and out and kept washed, polished and waxed to the highest degree with the best detailing products.

The modifications undertaken have maximised the vx's air intake and expelled fume extraction, with the fuel injection and engine management re-mapping to match and compliment the set up. This gives a sporty, neck biting, raw and impressive low end acceleration, with a top end range that never stops pulling away.

This is your chance of buying one of the few (the numbers are ever decreasing) VX N/A's that is being sold by the original owner who bought it from new and has always striven to keep that 'showroom' condition.

The Price: £8995.00 ono

Note: the car is currently SORN, however upon receipt of deposit, I will put 6 months tax and MOT onto the car.

There is currently a private plate on, which I will not be including in the sale, however I'm looking to sell this plate, see alternative thread. The registration is J2 22OVX, open to reasonable offers, please PM me.
