Shame it's not a turbo! Fantastic colour though and an absolute bargain for someone at £400 - GLWS

Cheers

That’s a great price. Could be made really tidy with some time and love, too. Interesting and not particularly common engine, the FD...it’s the one with an unusually long cambelt service interval if memory serves.

I’d love to give it a home, I don’t think I could afford to insure a third car though, alas...it’s a terrific and very practical car for the right person though so I’m sure you’ll have no problem I love moving it on!

That looks a nice example.

We had, for a while, a 2.3i non-turbo auto estate ... now that WAS a bit lacking in power.

It certainly seems to look good from the pics & the mileage's not an issue really.

I've just checked the MOT history, all good, but according to their website you've got the expiry date wrong ... it runs until 27 October 2018 not 30th of September 2018.

Many thanks CharlesStevenson! I was rushing to get through the paperwork. It has never, ever let us down, even if not the fastest car on the roads..

Mark33, I'd be seriously interested myself but it's about 6 wks too early for us.

Can't see it being around by then.
