VAUXHALL VX 4/90 FB VICTOR YELLOW/GREEN STUNNING ORIGINAL CONDITION.

THIS IS SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT SPECIAL AND EXTREMELY SCARCE. F THE FOUR VX 4/90 FB. STILL REGISTERED WITH THE DVLA I AM SURE ONLY 1 OTHER IS FROM THE FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION AND CALLED THE VX FOUR/NINETY AS STATED ON THE MOTIF BADGES ON THE CAR AND WITH THE 1508 ALLOY HEAD TWIN CARB ENGINE. I HAVE SEEN THE OTHER ONE. OLD LAST YEAR AS A RESTORED CAR BUT IT WAS FAR FROM THE FINISHED ARTICLE. 3 BARN GARAGE FINDS HAVE APPEARED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. NE WITH NO ID AND THERE COULD BE A FEW MORE HIDDEN AWAY BUT WITH LOW BUILD NUMBERS YOU CAN PROBABLY COUNT SURVIVORS ON 2 HANDS AND ALMOST CERTAINLY 1962 FOUR/NINETY CARS ON ONE HAND. ND THIS IS A TURN KEY SURVIVOR READY FOR THE FIRST SHOWS OF SPRING.
THIS IS A TURN KEY CAR WITH A NEW MOT AND IT DRIVES VERY WELL INDEED AND WITH OUR INDIAN SUMMER IS CLOCKING UP A GOOD FEW MILES SO THAT 60K SHOWING WILL INCREASE. IT WAS FIRST REGISTERED IN THE SWANSEA AREA WITH A 3 NUMBER 3 DIGIT REGISTRATION AND HAS RESIDED AWAY FROM THE UK. SALTY ROADS FOR THE LAST TWENTY ODD YEARS AND HAS HAD REGULAR USE AT CLUB RUNS AND EVENTS DURING THIS TIME AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED READY TO GO AND CAREFULLY CLEANED AND GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE. IT HAS ALSO RECEIVED REGULAR DOSES OF WAX OIL.
BODYWORKMY FRIEND. CAR RESTORER. ND I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE CAR AND WE DO NOT THINK IT HAS EVER BEEN RESTORED. T HAS BEEN PAINTED IN ORIGINAL COLOUR SCHEME BUT NOT IN THE LAST 20 YEARS AND I GUESS ON A 54 YEAR OLD CAR. AND THESE RUSTED FOR FUN. IT HAS HAD REPAIRS BUT THEY MUST ONLY BE MINOR AS ALL THE USUAL RUSTED PLACES ARE STILL SHOWING SPOT WELDS. HE BOTTOM OF THE SILLS. PARE WHEEL WELL. POSTS. HE REAR QUARTER SEAMS INSIDE THE BOOT. HE WINGS ARE GENUINE WINGS NOT PATTERN AND QUITE LIKELY THE ORIGINALS. KNOW PATTERN WINGS HAVING OWNED THE WHITE/BLUE ONE MANY YEARS AGO. ALL THE DOORS ARE EXCELLENT WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL SKIN FOLDS. HE REAR ARCH LIPS ARE NICE AND SHARP. T REALLY IS IN AMAZING CONDITION WITH A VERY FEW MINOR BLEMISHES TO THE OLDER RESPRAY. THE ENGINE BAY IS SUPER CLEAN WITH NO SIGNS OF WELDED REPAIRSTHE UNDERSIDE. Y FRIEND SUGGESTS. S STILL MOSTLY COVERED IN THE FACTORY APPLIED COATING AND I DO NOT THINK IT HAS EVER HAD WELDED REPAIRS. T MOT THE TESTER THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE HAD ON THE CENTRE OUT RIGGERS BUT THAT IS OPEN TO DEBATE. THE BUMPERS ARE GOOD. EW SCRATCHES ON THE REAR BUT THE FRONT IS EXCELLENT AND THE REST OF THE CHROME IS ALL VERY DECENT TOO. THE FLOORS HAVE NO PATCH WELDING AND LOOK TO BE ORIGINAL STILL COVERED IN FACTORY FINISH. CAN SUPPLY MORE PICTURES OF ANY AREA YOU WOULD LIKE BUT TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA. OOGLE PICTURES OF FB VICTORS AND SEE HOW MANY HAVE STILL GOT THE FACTORY GAP AT THE SILL TO REAR QUARTER JOIN. OST ARE LONG GONE. ILLED OR PLATED OVER WITH REPLACEMENT SILL PANELS. OME REMEMBER THERE SHOULD BE A JOIN SHOWING AND TRY TO REPLICATE IT BUT IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A SEAM. OT THIS ONE. SOLD THE WHITE/BLUE FLASH ONE. THAT SOLD FOR 10K LAST YEAR . AYBE 10 YEARS AGO. THAT CAR THEN WAS NOT AS GOOD AS THIS ONE IS NOW.  COME AND LOOK FOR YOURSELF AND I WILL TAKE YOU FOR A LONG DRIVE VIA A GARAGE WITH A RAMP.
INTERIORAGAIN THIS IS VERY NICE AND ORIGINAL AND GENERALLY VERY GOOD BUT BEING CRITICAL AS I ALWAYS AM IN MY DESCRIPTIONS A BIT OF DETAILING IS REQUIRED FOR MINT. HE SEATS ARE EXCELLENT SOME LOOSE CLIPS TO BOTTOM OF DRIVERS SEAT. HEADLINING EXCELLENTDASH ALL WORKING EXCELLENTDASH TOP COVERING HAS SHRUNK A LITTLE AND FOAM IS OLD SO SHOWING A FEW WRINKLES. DOOR CARDS ARE VERY GOOD BUT A FEW NICKS TO THE STRETCHY POCKETS ON BOTTOM OF FRONT DOORS. THE LAST OWNER USED THE CAR ON LOTS OF RUNS AND LOVES HIS ROCK AND ROLL SO A MORE MODERN UNIT WITH VERY GOOD BOX SPEAKERS ON THE REAR SHELF HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY FITTED. I DON. THINK THE CARPET IS ORIGINAL BUT SUITS THE TURQUOISE INTERIOR. THE DOOR SEALS ARE OLD AND TIRED BUT DO THE JOB OF KEEPING OUT THE RAIN. NOT A LOT CONSIDERING THE AGE AND ORIGINALITY OF THIS VEHICLE AND IT. A VERY NICE PLACE TO BE. br>MECHANICALLYTHIS IS A TURN KEY DRIVE HOME CAR. AM CLOCKING UP THE MILES IN IT MOST DAYS. T HAS HAD RECENT BRAKE PADS AND REAR SILENCER AND IN FACT THE ONLY THING I CAN FAULT IT ON IS A PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED CENTRE SILENCER. IT IS NOT LEAKING BUT WILL NEED REPLACEMENT OR WELDED REPAIR SOONER OR LATER. OLDS EXCELLENT OIL PRESSURE HOT OR COLD. O OVERHEATING ISSUES EVEN IN LONDON TRAFFIC AS I SAID MAKE THE EFFORT TO VIEW AND I WILL TAKE YOU ON A LONG MIXED MOTORWAY. ONDON TRAFFIC TEST DRIVE. IT IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE.
HISTORYTHE IS NO PAPERWORK HISTORY WITH THIS CAR AND I CAN ONLY REPEAT WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE LAST OWNER AND WHAT I HAVE DUG UP. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN THE SWANSEA AREA IN 1996. HE REGISTRATION IS A SWANSEA REG. ND HAS RESIDED IN IRELAND SINCE AND WAS RE PAINTED BEFORE GOING TO IRELAND. I HAVE DONE HPI CHECKS{PRINT OUT AVAILABLE] AND DVLA VEHICLE CHECKS AND THOUGH THE CAR WAS REGISTERED IN IRELAND IN 1996 IT DOES NOT HAVE AN EXPORT MARKER ON IT AND IS STILL LIVE ON THE DVLA SHOWING 2 PREVIOUS KEEPERS WITH THE LAST CHANGE OF KEEPER IN 1991 AND LAST TAX EXPIRED IN 1994. HIS GIVES THE IMPRESSION OF THE CAR HAVING A LONG LAY UP BUT IT HAS NOT. T HAS BEEN USED AND MAINTAINED VERY WELL AND AS IT HAS ESCAPED AN EXPORT MARKER IT SHOULD ONLY BE A CASE OF APPLYING FOR A NEW V5. NLY THIS TAKES LONGER THAN THE RE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND IF THE DVLA DECIDE THAT ROUTE MUST BE TAKEN THE ORIGINAL REGISTRATION IS STILL ASSIGNED TO THIS CAR AND IT. A SIMPLE ENOUGH FORM FILLING EXERCISE TO GET IT BACK. I AM HAPPY TO ASSIST IN THE PROCESS OR DO IT MYSELF ON PAYMENT OF A DEPOSIT BUT MY NAME WILL BE ADDED TO THE SHORT LIST OF PREVIOUS OWNERS. HIS IS A VERY GOOD CAR. VERY RARE SURVIVOR IN VERY GOOD CONDITION,
