About the VX220:

With Vauxhall wanting to improve it's image, they partnered with Lotus to create their version of the Elise, offering their own styling and engines to the already proven car. Unfortunately the early 2.2 engined non-turbo cars cars were a slow seller. This lead Vauxhall to put the 200 BHP engine from the Astra GSI in the car, which made a huge difference to how it drove, peak torque was now at 1950rpm and it took the 0-60 down from 5.6 seconds to 4.7. They also did some chassis tweaks to improve the handling. 

Jonathon's Comments:

'This is a really nice example of the VX220 Turbo. The previous owner just wasn't using the car so thought it best to sell it so someone else can enjoy it. With not being used the car did need some maintenance work to bring it back to it's best, so it is all sorted for the next owner. To drive the car is great, the turbo engine really adds to the character and it still feels fast today.'   

All cars sold at the Car Barn come with a 6 month warranty provided in house.
