Up for sale is my VX220 which I've owned since April 2011. I performed a SC conversion on it, completed and fully mapped February 2012. The car has proved very reliable since I owned it. I will try and describe the car as accurately as possible.
This car offers similar performance and handling to some of the supercharged Lotus' but at less than half the price..

Not so good bits...
Cosmetically, the front end is suffering from stone chips, there is some paint blisters on the doors, although these have been touched up and are not severe. There is some minor orange peel effect just in front of the rear spoiler, and some minor paint bubbling near the rear bumper-clam seem. The rear took a parking speed knock last year which meant the passenger rear was repaired and painted. The paint match is good, but not perfect (can be difficult with red), although it doesn't take away from the car IMO. There is the odd scratch here and there representative of a car of this type and age. I would recommend viewing in person to get a proper idea of the overall condition.
The interior has (the usual) wear to the drivers side seat bolster and sill, and a little play in the drivers seat runner.
I am located in Aberdeen, but I'm down in central belt Scotland occasionally incase its of any use to anyone considering the car.
Pleased to answer any queries on the car. I will get pictures of the car up very soon.
Not interested in a PX. Selling due to general lack of use.
I believe I have priced the car fairly taking into account some of the exterior issues (which are nothing exceptional for a car of this type and age) and it's current condition, specification and upgrades, and the fact that cars that have been supercharged are still relatively rare, so no silly offers please.
No test pilots. Test drives only subject to prove of insurance or full cash deposit.
