Good to hear you got past Your initial stage 4 woes...indeed a very nice car Now price needed before Wolfie tells you

[vxr36]

Ahh yes the crucial bit seemed to have been missed in the copy/paste...

 

£17,000.

Looks like a cracking price in the current market. Suspect it won't be around for long...

Are you planning to upload some pictures? Sounds like a superb VX

[Y22vxx]

Ah found the link, great stuff

Beautiful car and a cracking price. I don't have that kind of money at the moment but given its a single owner car, it's this time of year and there's no others about, I reckon you'd easily bag £20k+ for this. Do some digging as to what others have gone for. You've a rare machine here. Don't undervalue it.

[cressey]

Also, if we're talking about the same bit, I'd say you have a standard plenum, not a large one. Do you mean the black block secured to the inlet manifold by 4 bolts? Looks standard to me.

[cressey]

Okay just went to find you some links and everything similar Has actually gone for a similar price. Still, yours has some merits and being the only one for sale in the UK, I'd have thought you could command a bit more for it.

Where's Tooshy?

I think you should buy it Hairy, you're a good driver, could easily use that extra power

[Madmover]

One sold for 16 recently and another was advertised at 18 so It looks to be about right. If I had the space I'd probably buy it and sell mine!

Probably too many miles for the vxr wanters ( dreamers ). If i was after a vx again this would be in my garage like a shot.

[turbo2015]

just seen your car on pistonheads wow 17k too cheap,  not far off from many stage 4 cars@ that price, please bump up the price to 19.5 so that i dont get tempted :0)

[vxr36]

I priced it to selL. I don't think it will take long now judging by the recent pms. I hope it goes to a good home.

[vxr36]

I can't imagine another car to put a smile on my face as much as this car did every journey. End of an fantastic 11 year era. Sold yesterday.
