Jifflemon Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Having been ordered to find a "sensible" car, as apparently owning this and two 2 seaters does not equal sensible, the 7 Seater V70 I've just got fits the bill which means alas, My winter run around needs to go. If you didn't know, the Millennium was a limited edition. This is number 288. According to Howmanyleft, they've just dipped under the 500 left mark. It's been maintained whilst I've had it, it's had:4 x new shocks.4 x new Top mounts.-35mm springs.New rear beam bushes.New front wishbones.New droplinks.New front flexis.New front brake pipes.New exhaust.Heater control valveIt's sat on a set of Old skool TSW Evo's, shod with Michelin 195/50/15 pilots. Will include the original Milly wheels too, just in case you want to return to factory look.Front and rear Mudflaps and countless other bits and pieces like the all too often seized rocker cover bolts, alongside the usual service items. Bad bits:He's got the typical factory rusty rear arches, but hey, I'm not going to cover them in filler and lie about them! There's a small dent in the N/S quarter panelAir con. It has it but it doesn't work - Suspected holed condenserSomewhere along the way, the O/S repeater lamp has fallen off (Orange bulb still there!).It's yellow, and if you don't keep on top of it, it'll fade.The drivers seat has a bit of wear, but still way better than most. It'll probably be SORN'd at the end of May. I'll probably swap the insurance over around that time too. Mileage has turned 134k , but will increase slightly as it's my current daily. MOT is the 14th July £500 for the AS boys, (its £600 on RR), or potentially a roffle if there's enough interest?Located in Milton Keynes, 10 mins from J14, M1 On the milly wheels: On the TSW wheels Seat bolster wearr Roffle Status: £8 a ticket. Hopefully drawn on the 25th at the latest, we should make a weekend collection doable, whilst it's still legally taxed and insured.Milton Keynes Station is 3 minutes by taxi to my place, or can just meet at the station. The M1 (J14) is 6 minutes away, so it should be a relatively straightforward collection. 1. WilsonWilson - PAID2. TheMoog -PAID3. Danterzza - PAID4. SiC - PAID5.

BorniteIdentity Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Always wanted a Focus millennium and drove half away across planet globe to buy one back in 2013. These are great... and I genuinely reckon they'll be sought after once we've all sold ours for beer money! Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jifflemon Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Should I be thinking it's roffle time? Or should I just squirrel it away into storage? £8 a ticket.

beko1987 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 God I miss my Puma. 2 kids makes them unpractical now, but I've never beaten my best time from work to our old flat in any other car, even the xm! I wont say what that time was, as I drove like a knob and broke speed limits, it was at midnight, but that's no excuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
face Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 If I had the space I would squirrel - but then I do love these cars. People will be falling over themselves for these within a decade. I think they are a classic - a unique niche car that was executed extremely well. They drive lovely (even the 1.4) and handle brilliantly.

rantingYoof Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Is it the done thing to ask how much, if any, MOT is on it? Unless I'm being blinded by the OSSUM YELLOWNESS and have missed it. I'd have a ticket, possibly two. You are one junction south of me on the M1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The S60's clunky vague gear change is perhaps one of the worst ever, so I see nothing wrong with experiencing one of the best ever just to compare it, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
