I asked the same thing of Greens, and what they gave me was a 'letter of authenticity', just listing the VIN and stating that it was 1 of 15 on headed paper etc. I don't know how much that's actually worth, but you're probably not going to be able to get hold of a certificate as such. I'd be intrigued to know if anyone does have one as with the car from new, and what's actually on it?

If you think it's real you could ask Wortec. They will have kept VINs and be able to corroborate.

I don't remember anything VX supported, if there was something then it would have been a locally made letter, worth didly squat IMHO now as modded VXR's are normally a better spec than stock VXR500's - ie: intercooling so it wont support your wish for keeping the value up.

All I had was a copy of the original sales invoice from Greens listing the VXR500 pack amongst the other extra's.

Welcome to the site. As has been said, Wotec did the kits, so they may be able to help. Failing that, then Dougie seems to know a lot about numbers and stats, so may also have a list of the chassis which were original 500's.

As to the rarity value, IMHO, those who are willing to pay the extra will probably also have the ability to tell a real one from a fake.

Hi,

I can generate certificates of authenticity for a reasonable price.

Wouldnt worry about not having one, it wasnt an offical it was a dealer limited run

Ive got the original invoice with mine, from Greens, only way to really identify as they didnt come with any numbered badge or anything.
