Can I have first dibs... please! I've been watching it since it arrived on ebay and it might be just what I'm after. Especially if I can get it for a low price! I'm quite excited by its redness.

I was interested... but ok! Just the kind of car i was looking for!!

You can have first dibs! Its £275 with 12 months ticket, just off the M11 near Duxford.

You could blag £250 easy. The vendor says its not got serious damage, but hes got negs for over describing cars.. I.E a scrape turns out to be doors caved inside out!. I asked for the engine size and didnt geta reply!

they are, from what i've read on this forum - an experiance - unlike other cars, in the way they drive- they're best as round-town cars as the 0-30 speed is fairly nippy, however on the mway they're a bit thirsty and noisy

Super dooper. Looking at the picture more closely it looks like the grille is not properly attached (I think i spy a cable tie on the O/S edge). I have asked for more pictures and was promised them, but none have appeared yet. Hoping to go and have a look at the one local to me tomorrow if it's still around so I'll report back. By the time I've got to Cambridge and back I may as well spend another £100 on buying a car closer to home... trains these days!

Or it might just be a crack in the grille.
