i have had to make a new advert as my last login details have been forgotten so please ignore the other ad if its still up! The time has arrived to put my pride and joy up for sale I have had the huge pleasure of owning and driving one of these amazing cars, it certainly did not disappoint! When I was looking for a vx220 I was unsure wether to get a turbo or NA , I just really wanted best of the best and a really rare car which is when I did my research on the s/c conversions and this beauty popped up which I obviously had to get! I had bought it with the intention of modding it even more and keeping it for a good amount of time however plans have changed in my personal life. The car is used as a daily(commute to work and also enjoyed at the weekend) , its no garage warmer! I recently did a 400 mile round trip to Cardiff and it really was the best driving experience i have had. Important Details ; - fully HPI clear - just over 53k miles(will go up slightly) - 51 plate - mot and tax - 3 previous owners - 2 keys + alarm fobs - Full service history(8 stamps), last one at 47039 ( sports car services ,cannock) where the following work was carried out; Brake fluid change - Brake discs and pads replaced - spark plugs replaced - remote batteries changed - oil change. The car has obviously had a lot of new parts fitted due to the conversion since that previous service and also had an oil change before i picked the car up at around 50k miles I have also changed the oil since having the car to a slightly thicker oil. - Body condition is good with a few minor age related blemishes and stone chips etc see bonnet pic for worst paint blemish, also has a blemish where the v grill goes.The fuel cap could do with a repainted or returned to standard silver(these where next on my list to fix but they really are not eye catching) -Interior condition is good ,only bad bit is the usual wear on the drivers seat. If you are after one of these then you will pretty much have a good idea what there about etc. The car has had a supercharger conversion done which is very sought after and rare to catch one for Sale. ( giving the car the power it should of left the factory) I bought it all ready done by a well known guy from the vx220 forum which has has done numerous s/c conversions, the conversion is less than 5k miles old. The work was carried out at Mmg (lotus/vx specialists) and some Parts and help from Courtenay sport (Vaux specialists) So quick spec of the car upgrades ; ENGINE - 2.2 - Stage 2 remap supercharger conversion - 250-260bhp ( 0-60 in around 4 seconds) - Miltek exhaust with sports cat HANDLING - GAZ pro gold suspension kit (adjustable) - Uprated grooved discs - MMG long diffuser - Turbo spoiler BODY AND INTERIOR CHANGES - vx220 turbo scoops/vents (gloss black) - Alloy indicator stalks and window winders - momo gear surround/handbrake/steering wheel - Sony CD player with uprated speakers - Satin black wheels/window surround The car benefits from a genuine factory hard top which is a huge benefit (especially for the winter) as well as the standard canvas roof. I have actually never took it on a track but these are very well known to be a perfect track weapon , so if you are after a a vx220 with a nice spec for track or just road use then this is the one. As i was after a daily car i decided to buy a vx with the conversion already done by a specialist to save any teething problems and off road time i would of had to deal with. I have Probably missed out some stuff , if you want more pictures or info please let me know. viewings recommended Thanks for looking Please email me for further pics or any queries

 hmm, just got to be patient especially with this time of year. 

 

 

i thought this guy from france was going to take  it ,then he just didn't reply until last night saying he bought the white s/c which was on PH. 

[Rosssco]

Its a good price for the spec and condition.. Stick with it! Advertise on some Lotus forums as well perhaps..

[TurboTurkey]

Did you get the front paint after all ? An yellow is hard to match as my wife just had her BMW front respray .

[Rusty789]

I should probably already be the owner of this, but I was told I'm not allowed!

[Vanquish91]

still not had it repainted , because as you can tell from the pictures of the car you cant really notice it.

 

for me its not a big issue its still got a tidy front end plus dreaded  winters here.

 

I did get a quote from a chips away guy but after thought ,i would not really trust them on this type of paint/ body

Would you take a cheap 2.2 VX in part exchange with a cash lump your way? I am local to you which would ease discussions. Cheers
