no such thing as a limited edition VTS




isnt this the 4th or so thread this week asking the same thing

[TU-Tuning]

True. Its a saxo tuned by an external company called L.A.D under Citroens commision mate

[gojka]

thats wot i thought, seemed a bit weired, the little plak inside looks a bit cheesey lol

[TU-Tuning]

That one actually is Robbo

re-re-re-re-re-post.

LAD did do a 160bhp saxo but they didnt take them from Citroen direct to do them they just "tuned" them as the customer asked. however, the 160bhp is very questionable from what i have heard

The LAD cars aren't official citroen cars. Look how tacky the add ons are. And the "160 conversion is 130-140, the 180 conversion is 150ish.
Still a white mk1 vts on white flat spoke MOs, mmmmm

[Robbo]

the bloke in the ad is claiming its limited edition as in citroen made 20 of them.

dont think id trust a car tuned by L.A.D....

[gojka]

i didnt no it was a re post sorry guys lol, i want it :D

[TU-Tuning]

I thought they were commisioned? My bad. But they are special editions they actually have production numbers etc, even if the bhp claims are excessive theyre not normal VTSs

[StuMartin]

this is honestly the 4 th time someone has made a thread about this, use the search button!!

cant have production numbers surely? they came out of citroen standard, LAD cant give them production numbers etc, or am i missing the point?

Officially there wasn't a LTD edition VTS, but as said LAD do their own tuned version, which has nothing to do with Citroen as far as I'm aware. If they try to brand it as an official "Citroen Saxo VTS Ltd edition" then I believe thats wrong.

[AlexR]

On said basis, any sort of modification makes your saxo limited edition :S

I once spoke to Ernie Lawton (he owns LAD) and he told me that LAD once had a contract with Citroen Manchester to build a Saxo called the San Remo.

A VTS had a supposed 40bhp gain from headwork and a 421 manifold - utterly ridiculous.

I can't quite remember how many he said were made, I think he said around 60 and they all came in white with LAD graphics on.

If you ever have the mis-fortune of speaking with this man, you'll realise that he either talks utter bullsh*t or is one of the biggest con artists in the motor trade.

He basically plays on young, innocent kids who know nothing about cars and promises these ridiculous power gains.

Yup, all marketing spiel by what seem like good con-artists. I've heard a lot about LAD motorsport's big-power claims. And I've never heard of one of them to turn out genuine. Definately taking advantage of eager young customers..

[olly_vts]

true or not, its not the most attractive looking saxo i've seen.

[b0t13]

doesnt daffy have like a 300bhp san remo that hes tuned?

[Jazz]

true or not, its not the most attractive looking saxo i've seen.

Agree poor effort IMO. "whack 'em white Mo's on to match the paint, that'll fool everyone like!" (says the director of LAD).
