Hi all,
Is there a genuine VX armrest that can be fitted with a manual handbrake?
Make life so much more comfortable when eating up those motorway miles.
Thanks,
G

Haven't picked up the car yet, but the one I test drove didn't have it. I assumed it was an optional extra, which I wasn't offered at the time of ordering. Getting the Excite model if that helps?

You should have an arm rest mate that slides every j I've seen in the show room has it.
if not there were plenty of centre consoles on eBay with them in cloth trim

That's what I'm hoping! Have seen these aftermarket armrests on ebay which "Fit most cars", but I'd like something integrated if that makes sense.

I have an SRi with manual handbrake and have an arm rest.
I would suggest that if you don't have one and want one see if you can get a centre console from a breakers.
