No Problem

Show enthusiasm for the car, intelligence and that you have done your research and know exactly what you want. Word of warning though, insurance. You will sign a form, especially with TVR's stating that you will cover the first

 

can't comment on the rest. But for the VX220T, look on the Vauxhall website and find a dealer who is a VX specialist then just turn up and show some interest.
