My previous and latest VX220 - a plastic car addiction
Discussion
Just recently picked up my 5th VX220. Keep coming back to these cars as they are just so good and such good value for money. The latest one is a lightning yellow special edition one of 100 made originally (around 80 left). This ones been kept in a garage all its life and has only covered 14,000 miles and is in literally showroom condition.

My most recent previous car was a bit of a project that went from this
to this
And before that one I had one that had supercharged. Totally insane but outwardly looked totally stock.
Prior to that was a reasonably straight forward one that I kept for about a year without really doing much to:
On track at a wet Cadwell
And my first love that got me into the VX220 my beloved silver one. This was a real pearler of a car. It only had 7500 miles on when I bought it and was on a par with the current yellow one in terms of condition. Took it to the 'ring and did a couple of trackdays in it. Its actually back up for sale in a dealers down south somewhere at the moment.
I'll try and hang onto the current one but you never know. I might fancy a supercharged one again at some point as that one was really something!

6Ft dead and I'm blessed with a magnificently large head. I fit in with about an inch of clearance with either of the roofs on. At a push I can do a helmet under the soft top but usually trackdays are roof off.

Mate has just got hold on one. Would love to be able to fit in one but just down think its meant to be (6ft 3).
I'm 6'5 and owned mine for two years. Looking at those pics I'm half tempted to get another, might go and look at the classifieds.OP - Very nice selection there, love the lightning yellows.
Cheers. They are great cars!
Height wise it depends how you are configured. If you just have long legs you should be ok. You can remove the headrests to gain an extra click back on the drivers seat position. This has been done to my current one. Best bet is to give one a try. I'm sure a local on the VX forum would happily let you have a good look around one or just go along to one of the meets or shows in the spring/summer and get talking to an owner. We tend to be happy to talk about the cars
