Vauxhall VX220

[ReinisB]

VX220 was one of the greatest all time roadsters produced (sort of!) by the German manufacturer – Opel. It was amazing in every aspect – from driving experience to the looks. It had just one downside though - nobody wanted it.

the non turbo has the bullit proof Vauxhall engine - they are easy to work on - the main things to look for is any damage on the fibre glass shell and boxed "chassis" (it does not have a chassis) construction parts

they go like stick - weight under a tonne

Here's my sons old car - a few years ago - (Reinis - I hope you don't mind me posting the image) - as you can see he had various bits painted black

Never heard of it before. Looks great. I want the turbo version.

The non turbo is better according to what I've read.

Great pics!

and no, you want the NA version that's then been supercharged!

 

[ReinisB]

Thanks gentlemen!

 

[BillN_33]

the vx 220 is a very nice looking car im not sure but the na engine is a 2.2 direct engine i think the same engine thats in the 2.2 elite nice engine but you need to make sure it had the updated tensioner if not the timing chain will go and the hpfp are not that hot on them to
