I thought the Burgs had the Burg Circuit on the seats, it also doesnt have the original wheels and imo the number badge looks like its been put in the place of a previous blank etc? See the damage around it?

Looks like some one bought it for sub £14k put a thousand miles on it and then put it up for a profit?

And that engine looks a little untidy for a 2 year old car.

I would say not. Doesnt have full leather but has the heated seat buttons, and the wheels look to me like the 18" replica VXR wheels for starters

Guy couldnt sell it because it was non gen, so traded it in to someone that wouldnt spot the differences? Thats my guess.

This begs the question, why would you buy a VXR, paint it white, buy the B pillar trim, exhaust, possibly replica wheels that don't even come on the 'ring edition, get the interior badge made up, get the chequered vinyl and mirror covers instead of buying a real one?

Number 71 isn't registered on VXRonline, but tbh it must be real.

As Daveskater said, why bother faking one?

Its easy enough to change the logbook, im sure if who ever went through the effort to replica the burg they would change it on the logbook? It happens all the time, alot with BMW 328i's being changed to 'Sports'

Considering you can pick up VXR's for 8k or so now, Burgs still seem to be about 15k, so I'd say alot more

It'll be a bit of a dog of a Vxr for £8k IMO.
