That one's attracted a few comments on the FCF Jaap

It would be a heck of a project for someone. You're nearest

I would be interested in the wheels if this car got broken.

I owned a VSX 2.0 manual in champagne gold and the colour made it look a
real stunner even though it had been abused as a biff-about park by feel car.
Sadly not one panel was straight or undamaged and I scrapped it which I do regret.
I think the only piece worth saving was the plastic grille and the tailgate hatch!
There aren't many this colour and being an early sinker this ebay car up North has
to be a good start in Xantiae ownership! It looks fantastic:

For the modest money, why not trust face value and buy a one way flight up to
Glasgow and enjoy a fab mini break in the West Highlands?

I'm very tempted Andrew. Very tempted.....

Gosh it looks good.

Go then Russ, go. It looks better than mine...I'll keep some wheels for you, you know tyres, wipers that sort of thing. Very rare I would think. Take the train and drive it home. It's cheaper than a set of tyres it seems....Good luck

There may be competition - on FCF:

This is near me!!! I might go and see if it's as good as it looks in the pix. It was initially listed for £550 and reduced to 350 after a day. I notice the rear suspension is on the stops too so worth investigating the plastic link (obviously not going to let on to the seller as it appears to be a trader) but could be one of those occasional gems that was bought new by an old boy's retirement snd kept good.

It's a sinker - they all do that and it's part of the charm!

I know...I have just sneaked a peak on FCF. Trouble is no matter how quick I act, he'll get there quicker!

[captainhaddock]

Tell him those plastic links are major trouble to fix and very very expensive and DON'T tell him you can fix it for ever with 2 tie wraps !

[russ92xmsed]

Well I checked the listing today, to ask the seller about it ect ect.... and it has gone. So someone has nabbed it up. Do not blame them one bit.....Anyone on here?

[russ92xmsed]

Just got an e-mail from the seller. It's sold.

Thats a pity Russ

Looks nice, I still prefer the VSX though...
