New little runaround!
With a new job meaning that I am now doing 300-400 miles a week, the fuel consumption of the 960 was getting crippling! But I love it and don't want to get rid - it's too useful for long journey's and moving stuff......so the solution....?
Here's the new runaround! 45ish mpg, easy to park - and huge fun. Only £450 with new MOT and 5 months tax, FSH, 62000 miles from new etc etc. Frankly it will pay for itself in reduced fuel bills in a couple of months. I'll park it in the boot of the Volvo at night, of course!!

Needs must I suppose mate!! If it pays for itself asap then all the better! Just cash the tax in and scrap it if it dies!

I had a Cinquecento as a little rin around a couple of years ago. I was given it for free and sold it for £450 two years later. Awesome little cars with so much character, surprisingly fun to drive and so easy to work on. If I had the need for another little car I would have another Cinquecento or Seicento without hesitation.

That's a proper tidy looking example! Nice to see one that's not yellow!
