The car has been kept remarkably original throughout its life the only notable non-standard modification is
customised rear exhaust silencers and tailpipes fitted
The wheels have never been refurbished retaining their original finish , they do have some pitting and would benefit a refurb
There are also some stone chips consistent with the cars age plus a small dent on the offside wheel arch
These points are reflected in the description this is not being presented as a concours car but as a unusually genuine low mileage and largely original VXR8 with excellent storage history
Viewing is highly recommended for anyone who appreciates these cars
This car would suit an enthusiast looking for a low mileage example to enjoy or preserve or recommission further as a future modern classic
