The Appeal

"This manages to be fun without being frightening. It creates a grin so enormous, it splits your face clean in half." - Jeremy Clarkson, 2003

Developed in conjunction with the highly regarded Series II Lotus Elise and often regarded as the more accomplished of the two, the Vauxhall VX220 was a sublime sports car. Mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive and weighing in at a mere 870 kilograms, it's quite unlike anything Vauxhall has produced before or since. Today, the VX220 is a modern classic, greatly sought after among collectors.

With just 15,930 miles on the clock, two registered keepers and a comprehensive service history, this 2003 example is one of the best we've seen. Complete with an advisory-free MOT until May 2025, it's ready for its next home.
