Anyone know this car...

XXXXXXX

Hi, as this is a small community, I was hoping someone would have come across the above car. Looking to buy it you see and was wondering if anyone had some details on its (short) history.

Regards.

Nope, don't know anything about it.

But I would worry that it hasn't got any paintwork!

Looked a good car a few months ago when it was advertised and now the price is silly low id buy it if you are after a standard one! Bargain for some reason!

I bought my VXR8 from Colin he seemed a good operator. As a footnote i believe he has had that car for a while and i reckon he will let it go for less than advertised.

Happy haggling!!

I know it is not the most helpfull thing to say but, it was obviously supplied by a northern dealer....
Maybe Raggyman or Jimbo know it?

It is the next black VXR I've seen them offer since I bought mine off them. I saw it when I dropped some stuff off. Give Colin a ring and I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you the history of the car. Maybe you could have a look around his tweaked VXR8 at the same time :-) He's easy to deal with, I found.

yeah, it was used by my Dad as a MiniCab in Southampton until the engine blew. After that it lived at the bottom of his allotment as we couldn't afford a shed. Last time I saw it it was being taken away by the council after some local yobs set fire to it.

I have just checked to see what the tweaked VXR8 is that they are advertising. I doubt you will be able to test drive that car as i purchased it 6 Weeks ago and it was standard. Very confusing why he is still using pics of my car.

[magic919]

Colin is himself driving a tweaked VXR8 from what I understand. He had some 57 VXR8s on the way and probably just kept the old pics.

I haven't seen him advertised anything with mods. He didn't mention the full Milltek on the VXR I bought.

[gizmo643]

Which VXR did you buy from him Magic

[Ston]

Thanks for the replies guys... think I'm going to take the plunge and join the ranks.

Welcome in advance

@gizmo

I bought this black one. The pipes caught my eye and I was fully hooked once it fired up :-)

[well_fans]

if he'd been able to offer a bit more on a trade in against it I was going to go after the car in question but I'd rather try sell it privately than let it go for what he was able to offer. So I'm going to stick with what I've got and buy some toys for it.
