I asked on friday where it was and was advised it was going through the defleet process still and will be opened for sale to the 6 VXR8 dealers so will be appearing soon
that's some defleet process, must be 10 weeks so far since I saw it being put back to std. I bet that sells quickly as assume its the only R8 Tourer sold here.
Guess it will be around £39k retail

Was this the only car ever 'converted' as such? Was there an intention of importing and rebranding further cars for retail or was a pure marketing thing? (which it did a sterling job at!)
There was always the ability to order an R8 Clubby Wagon, but I don't think anyone did.There still is now - as is the offer of anything in the HSV VF range. The problem with the VF is that with the GTS at £55k, why would anyone choose an R8 for £50k - unless they needed the even bigger boot.

So the dealer buys from VX which gives VX a profit then the dealer sells to jo public marked up again....? Why can jo public not bid on said car with the understanding that its brought as is..?They have put bids on and we will see who gets it
