Not traded by me, traded by my mate John who bought my old VR-4. GTA is silver, seriously uncomfortable for us bigger-boned chaps ;) same tiptronic box and, with the huge big-bore exhaust that he's put on it, a fair bit slower than the VR-4 :D He's going to put the old exhaust back on to regain the torque. It would be nice to have the steering wheel, though, with the tiptronic buttons on it /yes

sounds good... the GTA, in fact the VII, gets slammed by lots of folk. Its a good looking subtle revision I think.. Are they 260brake as standard?

YOUR previous VR4 looks great in those photos BTW.

They can handle pretty high miles. Any VR4 is going to need constant tinkering anyway.

They don't sell well, so should be plenty of scope to haggle on price.

Ditch the idea of high miles equaling trouble with these cars, Volland - As Bern says, they all need attention ad. You should worry about neglect far more than you should about just miles.

It was well looked after :) As the ad says, "many thousands spent" on it /yes I preferred it to my current one ...

No, never broke down. But I do 30k miles a year which means it got serviced every 8 weeks (as does my current one) and they're not cheap to service ;) Add two (or three) sets of tyres a year, the odd track day, £500 of fuel a month ...
