Hi Stew! I ised to have a VVC Libra ( The Lamborghini pearl yellow one ) and I only recall ever knowing of 3 V6 ones? Greg? Black one, A girl? White one, told me off for touching it at Brands Hatch :-) and Grahame who had the grey one? They are certainly rare! I would guess your best bet would be Team GTM, GTM owners club or Talon Sportscars to put the feelers out?
I remember seeing a blue one too with a Spyder front. Any reason you're dead set on a V6? They're no quicker than a VVC really in the real world.
I think that yellow one is on the pricey side really, given it's not got particularly desirable running gear with it's 1.4 and R65 box. The 1.8VVC is compatible with the R65 box, though. As posted above you couldn't fit a V6 in that, but you could fit another 4 Pot, like a B18C (like my libra) or K20A Honda if it's more power you're after.
Not sure what changes have been made to the IVA process since that car was produced either.

There are/were more than 6
Factory Black Demo
The original Black V6. Greggs car
Another black one that went to Z cars a long time ago to get a VR6 Transplant
Yet another black one that had a Spyder front very similar to the Demo.
White one belonged to Lucy
Yellow with cobra stripes Dave Mac I think
Grey factory build GTO Front ex Graham
Dark Blue one, original front, can't remember who owned it
I'm sure there are more I have forgotten!

Mine was the factory demo black V6 with the two tone tan trim.....
Loved it & deeply miss it! I had a tired vvc K series one which I wasn't all that taken with but the V6 worked really well. Lots of apparent grunt (more a factor of a lack of mass than real torque) made for a really relaxed but grunty drive. Was good on fuel & quite usable if a little noisy at motorway speeds.
If I could get another then I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
