Looks are a matter of opinion of course but the vxr has a much better interior, higher specced, warranty.


insurance is something like 400 cheaper

will cost about 7k to build where as a low mile corsa d is like 12k

the conversion would include aftermarket management so would be 20 brake up on standard in a lighter shell

10k for a low mile vxr, and you'll get that 3k back over the b when you come to sell.

How old are you graham? If you go with a proper insurance company you will get a decent quote for a scooby.I'm with Rob at A plan at the moment but Gary Moulson at Keith Micheals is good too

7K will bag you a VERY nice Blobeye with power that will easily keep up with a P1 Your more than welcome to have a blast in mine to make you want one more?




Scoobyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy FTW
