Thanks guys, the question is buying the right one! The one ive spotted is in my budget for a new fun car *just* so I hope it doesnt turn out to be a dog!

Good luck, hope it's a good un

Oh bloody hell your local to me! 

 

I am based in Wellingborough and haven't seen any VX220s about so where have you been hiding! ha

[chez]

Oh sh$t, small world, I'm in kettering mate, there is a few more around the northampton area and also around MK and surrounding areas, had a meet a couple of weeks ago in MK but I couldnt go as was ill, but quite a few turned up, think there is talk of another get together soon so you best get buying! Lol, what ones are you looking at?

My folks live around 25minutes from Wellyborough, the old Man who works there occasionally spots a silver one and a yellow one.

Cool! I am looking at- http://www.lowtonmotorcompany.com/used-VAUXHALL-VX220-Warrington-Lancashire-568321 

 

I've got Ghand going to take a scouting look on Thursday and if he thinks it is worth a 288 mile round trip I will go check it out and decide :-)

Failing that I am stuffed as not many on market at mo and I really like the lairy colour!!

 

It is a small world, but maybe I am not looking hard enough for all these VX220s!

If it isn't spot on be patient. They always come up for sale in the winter months.

Yeah indeed, but I am quite keen on the non-standard colour. I already have a daily/bad weather drive in my favourite red/black colours so can't really duplicate with the VX220 as much as I would like to!

Once you rule out silver, red, blue and black, the list get's thin.

Chez, if you fancy a stop on a sunday drive pop by would love to see a VX220 in real life! Haven't yet :-)

 

PM me if you are around :-)

[chez]

At my parents for dinner today but I'm sure we can sort summat out maybe next weekend? She only comes out at weekends:-)

[karlb123]

I might be looking at my green machine next Saturday so lets see what happens! I will either be happy or not going as its a lemon and Ghands wise scouting trip will save a lengthy journey!

Cool

I know, might have to get any colour and save for a wrap!

[chez]

I know a couple of sprayers one in corby and one in finedon mate, getting mine done this year, good price, not the 3/4 grand that most will charge!! But wrap is cheaper, if that's what you want, reversible and can change it when you want

You will be lucky if it's reversible without a full respray The Vx paint is not that good at staying on and a lot is likely to come away if you try to remove a wrap but you could be lucky 😀

[chez]

Haha, yeah thats a good point!

Whats a "good price" PM me, I once got my mini sprayed for £300 providing I delivered it with all the trim and parts in the way removed! Wasn't a bad job either but I'd look around as well this time if on a lush car like a VX220

 

Yeah maybe a wrap I will avoid!!

Carefull.... Green Machine is Copyrighted and Trade Marked

 

Think you've definitely come to the right place. I started my motoring days with an original Mini too. Although I miss the mini, I love the VX.

 

Good luck and keep us posted!
