Sadly due to the fact I've driven the car twice this year, I'm going to have to part with my supercharged mexico blue vx220. Just not getting the time to drive it is a real bugger and I think I should let this car go and look at another when the time is right. So here are the points on the car:

Specification
- 4 Keepers including myself
- Lightning edition number 76
- Gaz gold shocks
- Team dynamic 1.2 wheels (17 rear, 16 front)
- Toyo Proxies (done about 4000 miles so pretty much brand new)
- Uprated stereo and uprated alpine speakers
- Full service history from new
- Larini Exhaust - Installed June 2011 (done about 150 miles)
- BMC Induction kit
- EBC discs and pads - Installed November 2010 (done about 1000 miles)
- Full carpeted interior
- All new seals around door, top window and where behind drivers head. Upgraded them to the elise ones as they reduced wind noise
- Heater works fairly well

- Resprayed to mexico blue in December 2010 (done about 300 miles since)
- Supercharged by Joe and Lee in November 2010 (300 miles + getting home of about 100 miles :))

Good bits
The car is superb mechanically having the most anal owners over its years of ownership. When I bought it in 2010 the bodywork needed attention, hence deciding for a full respray to a different colour. The body work is now in perfect shape. Car drives like a dream, and I can honestly say its one of the best example VX220's out there. I never wanted to make drastic changes to the car, however I feel what has been done has only enhanced it as a drivers car. The owner before me is my best mate, so I've known the car since 2007 and I can safely say its not once had a major problem.

Bad bits
I've been that busy this year, I've still not managed to drive down to Courtneys to have it remapped. I can't see me having the time to do this either, so realistically the next owner needs to go and have it mapped. It drives perfectly without a map, but will run so much better with a proper map on it. Cost of this is £200 which I have taken into account with the price of the car.

Sadly from 2004-2007 this car was used by a chap just north of wetherby to drive to newcastle on a daily basis, because of this the car has a well earned 78,000 miles on the clock. Its not actually a bad point as such, but obviously does put a lot of people off. I would urge anyone concerned to come and drive it as its still as tight as it was 70,000 miles ago. The service history pretty much shows that this chap did well over 40,000 miles on the motorway! Which also goes back to the point about the paintwork not being in the best shape when I decided to have a respray! (stone chips galore).

Hopefully that gives anyone interested enough information, but please feel free to give me a shout if you want any other information. Cars located in Wetherby area.

Price: £12800
Tax: 1 year
MOT: 10 months

O yea. I've got the hard top, but thats still yellow. This can be part of the deal and can be sprayed to Mexico blue no problem, so happy to negotiate with this.

That car is gagging to be made into a Strip "The King" Weathers replica from Cars 1. Good luck with the sale Will and I am sorry we have not met on a track somewhere.

Doncaster A1 Junction fella. It's no problem for a weekend, but would be two weeks! Time wise would suit me as waiting on a solicitor for a money transfer.
