Vauxhall VX220 Supercharged 250 BHP

[Mat Jackson 1975]

For Sale:  2002 VX220 Super charged 250 BHP, 58,000 miles - £15,200

 

I have owned this car for around 10 years and over time upgraded it to a high spec and sorted all the niggles and usual problem areas to make this the best VX220 I could, but with a sad heart it is time for it to go to make space for a new project.  Most other VX220 SCs are currently priced between £16k and 17.5k, but I have priced this to sell.  In my opinion, this is one of the best, sorted SCs out there with all problem areas resolved, and also one of the cheapest.

The car has some novel history too - being featured in EVO Magazine, hard copy to come with the car!!

 

This has been very well looked after and always stored in a garage, with a full comprehensive history of all work and servicing every year.

 

Full Spec:

 

Engine & Cooling etc:

Full supercharger conversion carried out by Joe at Max88 Performance, including front mounted charge cooler and Dutch ECU software.  Stage 2, 250 BHP

New coolant header tank

Alloy charge cooler tank

Full 2.5” Tullett exhaust system

Uprated alloy radiator

Uprated engine mounts (both sides and front and rear)

New T7 heater

 

Brakes / Wheels / Suspension

Newly refurbished rear callipers

4 channel ABS unit

TD1.2 Alloys (15/16” split) – just refurbished in anthracite and as new

As new Yokohama Advan sport tires – as spec’ed by lotus for the Elise

Hella brake vacuum pump booster fitted.  Originally fitted due to low vacuum from high lift cams, and left in place after SC conversion.  New owner can remove in 10 minutes if required, but I find it gives stronger breaking performance.

Fully refurbished suspension including Nitron street series fully adjustable shocks, new bushes, ball joints, bolts and track rod ends.  Fully set up and corner weighted by QMECH.

Upgraded leather interior including door cards, centre tunnel and gaiters, and door “shoulders”.  Black leather with silver stitching.

Carbon dash panel

Uprated windscreen / roof seal to later turbo style to remove water ingress issue

 

Body work

OEM turbo front splitters

OEM turbo spoiler

Black diffuser

Full set of Ultimate Carbon side skirts – not yet fitted but happy to give away with the car for the new owner

OEM softop in great condition complete with storage bag

 

The car comes with 2 sets of keys and a full history file from my ownership.

 

Overall, this car is in great condition and has been lovingly looked after and upgraded over the 10 years I have had it.  It is now a well sorted car with all the usual problem areas upgraded or fixed.  Happy to take people out for a test drive, or let them drive if they come with proof of fully comp insurance.  Appreciate there aren`t many cars out there, so willing to do some travel to make it easier to view.

 

I`ve priced this car very competitively, its one of the best sorted cars out there whilst also being one of the cheapest SCs currently on the market – please don’t come along with silly offers!!
