I see there is a recent VX arrival on Ebay UK. This guy in Bournemouth is selling his silver VX for 5499. It is true he has owned it since July 08 as it was the VX I was really after at the time. The guy bought it from Farmers of Matlock for 4495 and although I understand the previous owner who lived in Chesterfield (if memory serves me) really loved it and really looked after it, I think putting a 1000 on the price after 18 months is asking a lot. I hope he gets the money as it would (considering recent asking prices and prices paid) suggest that the value of VXs in the UK is actually going up - which must be good for us current owners. Incidentally the guy from Bournemouth states on ebay that his VX was the only one imported by Isuzu. I have an article in a 10 year old mag suggesting the registration of the only one imported by Isuzu was "R374LJW" which was silver (like many) so it is possible with a change of plates that this VX is the one in the magazine. Does anyone know what became of "R374LJW"?
PS in the Ebay advert a picture of "R374LJW" is included but that's not conclusive - it doesn't mean its the car being sold. What is interesting is my magazine article on "R374LJW" is there are the words (I believe) "Unleaded fuel only" above the fuel cap. I don't recall these words being on any other jdm VX. Is this true or is my memory playing tricks? Saying that you cannot see the sticker in the Ebay pictures so its still inconclusive.
