2003 VX220 Calypso Red - chassis is on 39k miles but the car has just had a fully upgraded engine fitted, see below. The car has a full service history and is HPI clear.

MOT June 11 / Tax July 11

Black Leather soft top, seats and Interior. The stereo unit and speakers have been upgraded and a sub has also been added - makes more than adequate music :) The heater has a 'venair' mod and works nicely too.

Black TD 1.2s as per almost every VX out there. Toyo T1R tyres with at least 5mm all round.

Mintex 1144 pads / standard discs with Motul RF600 fluid / ABS cut off switch

The car has been upgraded with a "Stage 2" supercharger fitted @ 32k miles. The conversion was done using new parts purchased from CS with the work performed by the previous owner. This has recently been superceeded with a new engine - currently on 50 miles and still being run in.

The engine now fitted has:

Supercharger / 2.0 SC throttle body / Dual pass with Alloy header tank

JE Pistons / Eagle Rods / Ported Head / Balance Shafts removed and powerflex front and rear mounts.

At the same time as the engine a 4.17 ratio gearbox was added along with a CS lightened flywheel and CS uprated clutch / new slave cylinder

The exhaust consists of:

Piper 4-1 manifold / Piper 2.5" Cat (200) section with additional silencer / Modified VXT back box - derestricted

Not that it makes any difference but I had fully intended on keeping this car for many years and have a genuine reason for selling.

The asking price is £13,995 - please PM if interested and I can talk at great lenght about any detail I might have missed or answer any questions.

Congratulations Big G. Did you know that the standard passenger seat and seatbelt takes a baby seat front or rear facing. Ollie loves Daddy's car and has already broken his Euro trip cherry. What I am saying is DON'T SELL, you can live with a VX220 and the wife's car.

Don't sell. We have three kids and I keep the VX as a toy. Mind you, the wife Fsking hates me for it.... Especially when I mention upgrades and then sneak out to meetings. Still. Your life is probably better than mine. So don't sell! You'll regret.
