2004 (54) VX220 Turbo TMS Stage 4
34,000 miles £14,995
I am reluctantly selling my Black Sept 2004(54) TMS Stage 4 VX220 Turbo (32900 miles).
This car was professionally converted by Thorney to Stage 4 in October 2007 with 22195 miles on the clock. It was running 290bhp and 322ft/lbs. It has the usual components of this upgrade including new turbo, actuator, injectors, charge cooler, sachs clutch, lightened flywheel, full Miltek exhaust and remap. Since then i have added a full flow apexi air filter and a Full de-cat, this made a massive difference its definatly over 300bhp now and sounds amazing!
I improved the car further and took it to Thorney for an AP Brakes kit upgrade (plus new rear discs). The car is also fitted with Compomotive Speedlinealikes (VX220.org.uk group deal) in Anthracite, they look amazing and are very rare. It has Gaz Gold coilovers all round which are height and rebound adjustable. I have them set just right for pin sharp handling without any noticeable loss of comfort over the standard Bilsteins they replaced. I just had the n/s/f Shock refurbed by Gaz under warrenty as it was leaking.
The car has following extra's: central locking, alarm, sill pockets, passenger footrest, VX220 mats. It also has carbon fibre sill protectors, fitted carpets on floor and sides, anti-rattle door pins, hard wiring for Tom Tom, Alpine IDA X100 head unit with ipod connectivity/control, Focal 165ca speakers and JBL GTO 752 amp behind seats. Yes, you can listen to your music, roof off, whatever speed!
I have maintained this car regardless of cost. A brand new gearbox (one of the last in stock with Vauxhall UK) was fitted by Steve Williams in early 2009 after a fault with a selector fork.
Also recently fitted was a Rear Diffuser that i got in a group buy off the vx220.org.uk site which makes the car look fantastic!
It is my 2nd car and is simply not used enough to justify having at this point in time as i have just moved house. Its covered just very little miles 2000 of which were on a 6 day Alps trip in Sept 2008!
It has been garaged since my ownership and comes with a protective cover for indoor use and i have never used it in the wet!
As you would expect it is insanely fast the fastest iv car i have ever driven, it requires a huge amount of respect when driving. I have always treated the car properly, allowed it to warm up fully and cool down.
The car is 6 years old and mechanically perfect, it recently had a full service, brake fluid change and MOT at Vauxhall in Bristol.
I will also be honest about the cosmetics of the car. Like most VX's it is quite heavily stone chipped on the front and down the near side. There is also some bubbling on the rear clam boot area, this hasn't worsened since I took ownership and isn't very noticeable. I have toyed with the idea of having the car re-sprayed but the bodywork is original and I think that speaks volumes about the car. As far as I can tell by a visual inspection and the paintwork the car has never been involved in an accident.
The previous owner de-badged the rear of the car completely, which is a personal preference. I will include a new "VX220" and "Turbo" badges if you wish to fit them, I never got round to it. The front V section has also been sprayed black by a previous owner which you could easily revert back to silver. The seat bolster on the driver's seat is also worn slightly, another common VX trait.
Finally, the car has a personalised plate T80 VXT (TurBO VXT) which will be included in the sale!
I have all the history, service bills, receipts, MOT's etc, 2 sets of keys/fobs, owner's manual etc which was one of main reasons I chose to buy this car. It is HPI clear and has no finance against it.
If you are serious about buying a stage 4 car then please contact me. Before you do so please make sure you can get it insured.
I will be happy to take you for a good (and safe) drive in the car but I will not allow anybody to test drive it unless we have done a deal. I would not expect anybody to hand money over without driving it first and you being totally satisfied about the car. Any professional inspection will also be welcome.

It is difficult to price a car like this because there are so few of them. To tune a car to this level, fit brakes, wheels etc would cost £10k over a standard VX220. Whatever way you look at it you're not going to get a faster more capable car for the money.
I am not in a hurry to sell it but appreciate I must be realistic about the price so am asking £14,995. I will listen to all sensible offers but won't listen to scammers or canvassers, so let's not waste anybody's time.
