As long as its white

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

The guy with this car just rang me back.....let's just say it's a serious contender!

 

[Jay Payne]

Ooofft!

:race:

 

[Addicted]

Lovely! I'd snap your arm off if I currently had the money!

 

[brisa4984]

Lol who was the previous celebrity owner?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

It's not as glamorous as you might think

 

[JackJack]

Ooofft!

:race:

+1 That looks great.

 

[Ray Gin]

That VX220 is absolutely stunning.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Such a lovely example, and great cars too

 

[domsclio182]

I would keep the VX tbh.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Guys what do we think to this colour?

I'd have to see it in the flesh to make a proper decision, but I like the idea of a silly car like this having a (tasteful) silly colour too.

I will NOT have a black or silver one, as those colours are the dullest colours on the planet. (My VX is grey before you comment )

 

[Addicted]

I vote for white to be honest, just like the one you previously posted. Or indeed Grey again!

 

[Gally]

White and Red are better than Green but it's still lairy and awesome!

Hero buy. You VX looks superb mate. I couldn't wait to see the pictures knowing you had taken them. Amazing colour in that Grey.

Good luck with the sale. I'd remove the Cat C-D part and just leave "HPI clear". Just people quick scanning etc might be misread.

 

[Hixle]

I'd have that over the white tbh Dan. You can't get one in a sensible colour

 

[Rob]

One in that colour passed me and Ant on the way to the burpspeed track day driving like a nutter. It looked really really good.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks for the comments Gally (and everyone else too).

I do like white, but I'm not sure if it's a bit.....plain.

There's an epic yellow one for sale at the moment, but I doubt these stay for sale that long.

 

[brisa4984]

Love krypton. But white is ace.

Goodluck with the sale.

 

[d6n]

Very nice car!

Why is there a gear stick gaitor on the passenger seat?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Because fitting it properly is a job I've never got round to. And having it off hasn't really bother me at all.

 

[JakeJ]

what about orange?

 

[.GAZ.]

Needs to be a lairy colour IMO.

 

[Martin.]

If only you were selling a year later down the line. I would snap your arm off. VXT looks lovely!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Guys what do we think to this colour?

YES !

 

[Addicted]

Oddly enough I drove past a green one on the way to work yesterday and have changed my mind, you must now get green!!

 

[brisa4984]

Why don't u sell say end of july, August and buy the exige in the winter. Should get top dollar for the vx and discount on the exige. ? Just a thought

 

[Jay Payne]

Coz hes impatient

 

[Matt W]

This thread has got me looking at VX220's again. Damn it.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Just out of interest, what sort of mpg does this thing do?

 

[Scrooge]

I love your VX but that green Exige is FTW!!!!

 

[brisa4984]

Just out of interest, what sort of mpg does this thing do?

20-30mpg. Light weight ftw

 

[Matt W]

The 2.2 engine in the N/A model is from the Vectra/Astra so will do 40mpg in the VX220

 

[Hixle]

This thread has got me looking at VX220's again. Damn it.

Snap. Especially as the N/A one's knock £300 off my insurance compared to the clio.

Sorry to go off topic Dan

 

[Kane.]

Get green. Looks awesome.

 

[daveski]

So much want for a VX220.

If you're getting an Exige it has to be something in a lairy colour.

 

[Matt W]

I was so close to buying one that I even bought a 12v car heater and a new set of gloves/socks so I could drive it in winter.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

MPG is pretty good, as you'd expect from a car weighing as much as a crisp packet.

I bought the VXT in winter, so I'd like to have a bit of Summer (if it ever turns up!!) running in the Exige.

 

[Jordi17]

VX220T looks great. remember when they were brand new, sitting in one at a Vauxhall dealer, so low its unreal.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

If I pick people up in it, watching them get in and out is absolutely hilarious! You soon get used to it, so it looks a bit more dignified.
