Smile 850 Estate (1997) for sale on Isle of Wight - £500

Car is in good mechanical condition. I bought it in 2015. I have used it for driving to my house in France - 1000km in a day, full of kit, no problem. I took great care of the car, renewing the PCV system and timing belt, water pump and accessories myself, just as a precaution. Easy car to work on. All fluids were replaced regularly.

It's the 2.5 petrol, automatic. There's no rust. One slight ding on a rear panel, but honestly the bodywork is unbelievably good, compared to my more recent cars.

When he needed a car, I lent my 850 to my dad, who recently passed away, and so it has sadly stood on his drive for a while and I have no time to put it through an MOT - though I have no reason to think it would fail. The car no longer has tax or insurance (it's on a SORN). The glove box is faulty and the dash has slightly curled up at one edge. A common thing with 850s. Does it bother me? -Not at all.

I'm asking £500 in cash, which is a giveaway. If I could, I'd keep it. It's the best car I've ever had.

Thanks for the interest - I sold my car to a local buyer through another channel.
