The "Police stop this vehicle if driven by anybody apparently under 25" or whatever the message behind the yellow triangular windscreen sticker was back in the last century seems slightly optimistic with a hint of paranoia thrown in, quite honestly I can't see this being prime joyrider material, although any kind of handbrake turn may prove interesting.


Seriously though, well purchased, from any angle it looks kind of interesting.............

Is that sawn-off roof bar on the boot lid standard fit?

It's one of those grab handrails, like you see fitted next to house doors so old people can help themselves up the step. In this case they fit them so that Doris (other old lady names available) can hang onto the car for balance before transferring her grip to her tartan shopping trolley.
