In 1971 she was sold to GEC (General Electric Company) who operated her until 1982 when she was sold to Aces High at Fairoaks. She was registered to Topflight Aviation, still at Fairoaks, in September 1983 and then Avtech Ltd at Biggin Hill in August 1988. Her registration was cancelled in August 1996 as permanently withdrawn from use.
By May 1998 she had been installed on poles at the old Corydon Airport building, now the home of the Croydon Airport Visitor Centre. She has been painted to represent G-AOXL of Morton Air Services which, on 30th September 1959, operated the last ever scheduled passenger flight from the airport.
Her titles have since been changed to read ‘Airport House’, the current name for the airport buildings.

The company claimed the newest and most advanced aerospace materials were used in building the W8s, which they said justified applying to the car the term "Aeromotive Engineering." Just 19 W8s were produced (17 customer cars and two pre-production cars, the prototype W2, and two prototype Avtech WX-3 and AWX3R with a mock up of the 7.0 liter DOHC TT engine evolution). A total of 22 automobiles produced by Vector Aeromotive over the life of the company. The car originally sold at retail for up to $455,000 USD new (on today's used market they are available from $200,000 to well over $1 million depending on the condition of the car.)
