Read the farewell in the forthcoming 'CAR' magazine; "if you want to add to your personal list of great drive stories, buy a Vauxhall VX220"

For those of you that do not know, this car is the 'Elise II' aluminium tub but with more powerful all alloy 2.2 engine. It has AP racing front brakes and the smallest full size airbag on the market. With a great weight-to-power ratio it is awesome on any bend or straight. Insurance is noticeably lower than the Elise and the servicing is similar to a mainstream Vauxhall. The car even returns 30-36 mpg.

I am selling the car as I am about to lose the use of the 4 door/4 seat car that I need on most days.

 

They're nice cars, also a bit rare as, well - have *you* seen one before? My mate at work got one (black), and took me out in a ride one lunch.
