Despite its size, the Vixen 21 TD is known for its excellent handling, achieved thanks to the low center of gravity provided by the fiberglass body panels. It is important to note that the standard pneumatic elements in the suspension were replaced with conventional shock absorbers. The seller honestly points out some shortcomings, such as the need to clean the interior, faulty air conditioning and heater, scratches on the body and rust on some parts of the chassis.

The car was sold for $23,000.
