Well....Thanks to S.L. and his trusty Accord, the unexpected addition to the Baz fleet is now home....Here are the pics....

Delightfully wonky numberplate....Appears original!

Couldn't agree more!

Interior is pretty much spotless.

Shite sounds....Good job I rarely listen to music in the car nowadays!
I have to say, I'm a very happy boy....The seller's bold assertion that this car "drives like new" really isn't too far wide of the mark at all....It has a very slight misfire on light throttle openings, but otherwise it's perfect....Where the Eleven, bless it, has lots of little "character features" (Squeaks, rattles, knocks, bangs, and a bit of a "knack" to starting from cold), the Nine is quiet, smooth, composed, and rides beautifully....The engine is nowhere near as tappety as the Eleven's either!
Granted, there are numerous dents, but there's negligable rust....The car looks very tidy indeed, but it's not
SO tidy that I'd be afraid to park it at Asda....The wheeltrims are pretty hideous, but there are three of the originals in the (two of which are in fine condition), so I'm gonna try and track a couple down, and return it to original spec.
Interior wise, it's in
EXTREMELY good order....The re-attachment of the end of one on the chrome strips on the dash, and a clip or two to put the rear of the headlining back where it's supposed to be, will see the car pretty much as it left the factory.
All in all, a splendidly Shite day....I got to drive S.L's equally excellent Accord on the way over (and due to arse-about-face switchgear, operated the wipers
EVERY time I wanted to indicate, much to S.L's amusement!

), collected my excellent new steed, then had a surprising Shite-related diversion on the way home....but I'll leave S.L. to tell You all about that!
Thanks again to S.L. for his help, and a thoroughly pleasant morning!
2005 Honda Accord 2.2i-CTDi Executive Tourer....Not Shite, but splendid nonetheless!
2006 Hyundai Getz 1.5 CRTD CDX 3-Door....More fun than you'd think!
