Ever since i gave my best mate a drive of my VX he's wanted one! He especially likes the LY's so i have been looking around for a few and came across the following:

Clicky

Anybody know this car? Looks a bit suspect with all those spare bumpers/bonnets in the background..... There is also a workshop key fob... mmmmm....?

EDIT- engine cover looks funny. guess its not been pushed closed.! am i mistaken in saying the lightning edt came with black fuel covers?

[willow]

id say its been repaired without a doubt due to price and certain misgivings - but that shouldnt let someone be put off as it doesnt seem too far over the top of the price range for a cat d. 8500 for normal ish would be expected, 9300 fro a LY? id probably take a look should have hard top too unless it was sold by previous owner.

Loads of evidence of a 'repair' there. No denial of a repair though. LY number would be a help....dont forget, a new clam doesn't make a VX a 'ringer'

[mandarinvx]

Just ask him and see what he says (can... worms... )

The ad says 80 out of 100

Not as slow as me obviously

Agreed. I'll get my mate to give him a call in the morning, although if it is crash repaired i think it should be a lot cheaper.

[Guy182]

excellent info, was owned by 'ginger' off here hence the G9NGR reg plate

Thanks, just doing my bit. I hate scammers, why not just advertise it as what it is and save all the grief.
After all we all know the old saying "what goes around comes around" and it normally does!

Is there any way you can warn "ginger" while i was chasing the info on the cat c vx i found that the accident somehow has followed his private plate to his new tvr tamora, wierd never seen that happen before, it actually has the vx220 accident and info logged against it, should be easy to clear up, if he can contact me then i can give him the relevant information.

am i mistaken in saying the lightning edt came with black fuel covers?

Silver on LY. Black on VXR I think. I wish mine was black

[mainline]

Anyone else spot the turbo lights on the front?

[Richy]

I have no doubt that Ginger once owned it - but the list is wrong, it's down twice... it even list SpalmH as an owner

*3274 ginger (Ex-Mike9009+SamH) UK Yellow Lightning Leather HT EZ 12/02 (sold 3/05) 3/06 No.80 UNFALL

*3322 ginger (EX-LIGHTNINGNO.80) UK Yellow Lightning VX220 No.80

I wouldnt mind buying a cat c/d car but to be honest if the guy doesnt list it in the ad, even if he admits it later he has lost some trust in my book and I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole

Edit: be interesting to see if his other car for sale is also a cat d/c?

Is this the one they did the work to on that "Wrecks to Riches" program? By the way deano, for it's worth, I still think it'd be worth a look for your mate. If he could knock a few hundred quid off, he's getting a fantastic sports car and a limited edition one at that (if it doesn't have it's Hard Top though, get them to knock a grand off)
