It's a beautiful car. I wish I could buy it, but I don't have any spare money!

I have to say, my Amazon saloon has been a perfect vehicle for a one-child family, so I'd have thought an estate would be ideal for a two-child family. I fitted rear seat belts, and we're almost seven years into having the Amazon as our family car.

It is perfect, unfortunately it's more the up-keep which is the problem. It's my step-father that does all the work on the car, and he just doesn't have the time and I don't have the spare money to keep it in great condition.

I don't have a garage anymore, so that is also a big consideration for me - it needs to be somewhere dry really and I just can't offer it the home it needs anymore

Gutted as my son loves the car, and he will be gutted too, but it's a second car and we need a £ buffer.

Hi I have tried to pm you and found I can't as a new member until I have posted 30 posts. I have always been an active viewer to this site and was a member years ago with my 1966 121 estate. I have just come across this thread and I'm extremely interested in your car. And have garage space calling. Would it be possible for you too give me a call to discuss. Mobile is 07583 771882
Many thanks

Si

Hi Si,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I don't get chance to check the site often.

I will pass your number onto my stepfather, who does all the up-keep on the car. He should be able to help you.

Hopefully you should get a call from him in the next couple of days.

Hi Lilhosk
Thankyou for your reply. I haven't received a call as yet, your stepfather must be busy. I am genuinely interested and would like to have a chat.
Regards
Si

Hi Si

I'm sorry you haven't heard anything.

I did text my step-fathers number to you on the number you supplied - I will send it again now. You are welcome to call him, he should be around this week.

Regards,
Claire
