I wanted to drive that to shitefest. Roughly 500 miles each way. :D

Well I don't think it's been scrapped anyway. Still showing as taxed.

I'm feeling myself drawn to Leamington Spa.

 

This is now down to £200. Needs a handbrake cable. Would need to plan a journey home with no hill starts.

With regards the Zx above, it goes quite well without a turbo! Well worth the £150 paid.

R-reg Rover 600 in white, auto, parked on an awkward bend in a local road, rear-on to a wall so I can't see the badge to identify the engine or get a pic while driving past.

 

MOT to Aug, no other info. Knocked down from £350 to £200. Pics to follow.

 

No obvious rust. Probably lots of structural, but outwardly invisible rust.

 

EDITEDITEDIT - reg suggests is a 2.3 V6 model, so basically a Honda Accord type-s, only packing a more desirable badge? A chap I used to work with had a green one of these which was so awesome I feel asleep in the passenger seat on the way back from Cambridge in it in about 2009. 11.7/10 for comfort.

Yep - and only 65k miles. Some strange fails/advisories about the 'front vehicle structure' in the MOT history. Maybe expecting to fail big on this next time?

 

'Unsatisfactory modification' - is that just a poorly executed welded repair perhaps?

£120.

Well loved Peugeot 106, been in the family for over 15 years. Everything works, except it needs a new exhaust. Selling due to upgrade to 7 seater. Will be sad to see it go!
Very reliable, and cracking cheap motoring! MOT through to Aug 2016, and has £25 of fuel in it...


Mileage 171000

Love a phase 1 106 - and the 1.5 diesel's the pick of the bunch surely

 

Don't need it but if I did I'd be all over it
