Good straight, unmolested example that hasn't been remapped, modified or otherwise insurance Category-listed.

 

This has just a few perfect, tasteful upgrades and options.

- Professionally painted black windscreen surround, wheels and dash panels. 

- Larini exhaust with straight-through pre-cat for freer revving. Will still fly through MOT without any nonsense but standard pre-cat also supplied anyway.

- Fully carpetted, with sill pocket option and upgraded heater so it's a bit more cosy and livable than a regular VX.

 

HPI certificated clear of finance and insurance claims. Road use only, never on track.

 

Has proven completely reliable over my 3 years of ownership, all the usual 'niggle' jobs having already been done - engine mounts, water ingress kit, UV expansion bottle cover, etc.

 

Full suspension geometry carried out at Back-On-Track less than 1,000 miles ago so it drives exactly as it should.

 

Sailed through MOT in April with no advisories.

Not local to Kent but still in the south east.

What you replacing it with?

[Graeme Lambert]

He has an Elise S160 now

Yeah it was effectively 'replaced' by it's curvy sister back in August. I had a 160 before and just couldn't help myself when this SVA example popped up for sale. Against the VXT it doesn't make any logical sense as an 'upgrade' but there's just something about the character of them that gets under your skin, or drives you mad at least.

 

I'd love to have kept both as I really liked the tubby but just can't afford to keep a collection, for a 1,000 mile a year petrolhead it doesn't really work out.

 

Plus they would be too similar to keep both, if I had that budget to play with and keep two cars I'd be more likely to go for something like a Westfield & a 964 or something along those lines.
