Is so sure that Vauxhall built a production VX220 'diesel' & that he almost bought one that he's bet me £5 he'll prove himself right.
He's so wound up about it he's been franticly searching google all afternoon!!

Seems silly as like you say I am sure there is a market. I mean its got to be as big as the one for the VXR8 etc

There is not a market for Vauxhall to try and sell a proper car, they stopped making the current ones in 2005 but dealers only got rid of the last ones in 2007/08. Its more Lotus than an Elise but badge snobbery rules.
