Jaguar V8 VX220

New conversion for Vauxhall VX220 promises much

Caral Automotive has an exciting conversion for the Vauxhall VX220 – a longitudinally installed supercharged Jaguar V8 with six-speed Getrag transaxle. The re-engineering extends the wheelbase and adds a ‘snorkel’ roof-top air intake. The company says you could have a 450bhp ‘V8XS’ for under £30K all-in. The engine and ’box conversion also fits the Lotus Esprit. For more info visit www.caral.co.uk
