EXTERIOR
This ultra low mileage VX220 Turbo presents beautifully throughout having been under the careful ownership of only two keepers since December 2004. The Black Sapphire paintwork retains a deep shine across every panel, the car clearly having been cherished all its life. On closer inspection there are no scrapes or scuffs to the bumpers or arches, and the removable black soft-top is pristine. The paintwork is very consistent all round with no evidence of any previous poor repair. The 17-inch alloy wheels are unmarked and the underside is also notably fresh. An exemplary VX220 Turbo in one of the finest colour combos, and a car we know well having sold it to the current owner.
INTERIOR
This cossetted example was spec’d new with red leather seats, both in beautiful condition having seen only 5k miles of use. The interior still feels incredibly fresh and is free from any scuffs or marking to the delicate trims or entry sill covers. Finer details such as the gear knob and steering wheel both present like new, and in the footwells the exposed floorpans are well protected by a set of genuine VX220 overmats. A truly timewarp cabin and a fabulous place to enjoy some twisty B roads, especially with the roof off.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The VX220 Turbo is equipped with a 2-litre turbocharged powerplant delivering just shy of 200hp. Beneath the rear lid the engine bay is very clean and tidy, just as you would expect. Despite its super low mileage the car has been serviced at the following mileages: at 1, 686 – 2, 912 – 3, 235 – 4, 632 – 5, 317 – and most recently at 5, 380 miles in May 2024. The timing belt and water pump were replaced in July 2021 and the car further benefits from a recent mechanical inspection and brake fluid change. MOT’d until April 2025, she’s good to go.
HISTORY FILE
This surely unrepeatable example was first registered in September 2004. It has now driven just 5, 840 miles in the hands of only 2 keepers since December that year. It was first registered to the supplying dealer, Archie Moss Vauxhall, before being sold to the first private owner as a pre-registered vehicle three months later, the odometer reading just 4 miles at that time.
The car has remained garaged since new and has only ever been driven on high days and holidays to preserve its amazing condition. Since arriving with us it has been fully serviced and inspected for the new keeper’s peace of mind. The accompanying History File is complete with a raft of invoices and MOT certificates verifying the car’s low mileage. All handbooks are present, including the original service booklet, and even the original bill of sale from Archie Moss Vauxhall is still on file.
