Tested till march. tax run out today. tyres are all legal. two were borderline so I replaced them with some I had on friday. I have 2 spare Volans in garage too with rubbish tyres. no advisory's, went straight through. replaced rear pads before test and nearside front hub/bearing. there are no leaks/knock or bangs. dont get me wrong its not perfect bodywork but engine/gearbox have no issues. when i bought it it had the smokey dipstick problem but that is all cured with the replacement pcv. all electrics fine apart from heated drivers seat. no rips/tears on interior, glovebox works but does not lock with key. I used it every day on a 50 mile round trip to work and would not hesitate to take anywhere.

Can't believe its still here but i need to get my garage back and ongoing wife nagging means its got to go. This is a genuine 'R' remember. A real bargain for someone. spent a fortune on it over last year. Cant do any swaps, sorry. Have had loads of email interest, someone just needs to have a look to see how genuine it is. Cambelt /tensioner done, PCV done, no warning lights. Runs and drives perfectly. comes with the 4 volans.

£1000

Any takers?
