As mentioned elsewhere, my VX220 is for sale.
It's not a give away price, but I think you'd be hard pushed to get a better vx220 for the money.

It's listed on PH, advert here:
http://www.pistonhea...20-2003/3737921

Priced at £15,000 £14,500, there is a little room for manoeuvre but I'm in no rush to sell.

The car is well known to the VX community and was bought from a previous long time member here as well.
I bought the car in 2011 and set about supercharging it with ALL NEW parts, in fact the only 2nd hand parts were a set of VXTurbo injectors (15k miles previous use).

The car has never let me down, starts on the button and drives beautifully.

Spec list as follows:
Solid Yellow
Unmarked Soft Top
Armourfend Paint Protection
20,500 miles (Reg'd July 2003)
M62 Supercharger
ITG Air Filter Intake & Bracket
Z20LET Injectors
LSJ Throttle Body
Dual Pass Mod for Inlet Manifold Laminova
ProAlloy chargercooler
Alloy Racing Fabrications Header Tank
EliseShop Rear Toelink Kit
EliseParts Alloy Radiator
Uprated Walboro fuel pump
Exige/VXR 4channel ABS
Aluminium Brake Bells + Discs
HEL Braided Brake Lines
Team Dynamic TD1.2 wheels (Anthractite)
Gaz Gold Pro 2 suspension
Yokohama AD08 tyres
Pagid RS14 Brake Pads
Tubular 2.5" Exhaust
Piper 2.5" Sports Cat
Black Carbon Fibre VX220 Turbo Spoiler
Black VX220 Turbo Ears
Black VX220 Turbo Front Splitters
Black TAT Short Diffuser
Black VXR/Exige screen surround
EGR Valve removed and EGR Cheater fitted
VX220 Turbo Replacement Roof Seal
Black Interior Carpet Set
Pioneer 8100 Stereo with matching speakers
Momo Gear Knob to match OEM steering wheel (original kept)

I've got a few spare bits kicking around as well that I've collected over time.

Lovely car..

 

And not wanting to comment on peoples sale threads, but on a positive note, I think it's worth about that (give or take) given the mileage and condition, especially when we hit April / May..

 

I'd get some scenic, topless pics too..

Fair point Rossco, pics were taken a few weeks ago when I had it professionally detailed (ShineOn Auto Detailing) with a full suite of gtechniq products including glass, paint and soft top protection. Will get some sunshine pics very soon :)

Evora if I can make the numbers work. Thinking being that it might get more use. Having twins means I can't nip out in the vx where as I could with an Evora. We'll see. Either way, you're not getting rid of me easily. :lol:

Sell it as parts. It's the only logical way IMO. ;)

Thanks guys. I think 15 is fair, supercharger was around 5k with chargecooler/manifold/charger etc all new parts, wheels and tyres around 1k, suspension £500, exhaust/cat around £1k, spoiler/ears/splitters £500, brake setup £600? To build it again would certainly be more than £15k :) assuming you can get a decent base car. Closest I'd suggest would be Jonnyboys 19k miler red NA at £11,500 then buying all the bits. Whilst not a "mod" as such, it's just had a £450 detail and paint protection with ShineOn using all Gtechniq products to make it shine! An example of how's its looked after.

It's a lovely thing; no justification required.
