Not bad shape. worth a punt if anyone is interested.

2 miles from me!!!!
But after looking at the MOT on it,it has a week left!
No centre caps and i doubt its as nice as it looks,but heated screen/electric seats /mulitchanger are nice,looks like the carphone holder is still there.
Cheap at £499!!!

Underside rust seems to be a problem with this car.

Trouble is that all of these cars are now slowly deteriorating and becoming acquanted with metal rot. I doubt there are many good examples around that don'e have issues with rust if i'm honest.

Ours has quite a lot all over the place that i need to deal with. I've acquired the pressure sprayer but yet to get any waxoyl (clear or black) to go with it. Thats my next real priority..

Rust does seem like a real issue and mostly at the rear end.
It can be hard to deal with when set in and also a messy/time consuming job to keep it at bay.

Well it appears to have gained a years MOT now and gone up £100 for the effort!
