Slightly bigger prelude, wins on age, style, grace and sheer class.

 

Manual Accord coupe on the bay, no fecking idea of the towing weight.

I love buttons in cars, so that Toyota Century is pure joy. I bet everything still works (not that you can tell, with all of the labels in Japanese). Pity it's in the wrong continent for DW.

I reckon that price is OK for one with only 50k on the clock - if I had the cash I'd have it. Wouldn't take many bills on a cheap one to add up to that......

 

I never towed with my 2.2 estate but I imagine it would do a good job. In fact, if you fancy a project (which I suspect you don't) mine is still sat here needing to go back on the road. It's not a minter but with just over 100k it has a lot of life left in it yet.

Alternatively, if you could persuade him to sell it this V6 owned by someone I know here in Norfolk would be ideal:

Isuzu Vehicross would be good if they were more common.

Another vote for legend or accord coupe / aero deck . Not sure if you can get a towbar for the coupe but that v6 is just soooo smooth

A Camry wagon, just for the rear facing seat and twin wipers.

Or one of these 91/2 Aerodecks, never popular as they cost almost as much as a W124 or e34 wagon, but these Yank built things were in my opinion better and more comfortable than the contemporary Legend.

Camry wagon is a major want. Double wipers are ace. What does yours need SL?

Crossmember straightening out behind the bumper and maybe a new towbar (where the towbar was fitted it took the brunt of the damage), a couple of new front springs, front wiper motor and driver's door lock replacing (I have both spare), a bit of fettling to the rear wiper mechanism (I still have the old tailgate to rob bits off) then stuff like brake discs skimming from it having stood for over two years. Ends of the sills looked a but crusty I noticed recently, so some patching maybe needed there.

 

I'm not exactly selling it am I? I was looking to put it back on the road later this year, as the PCP will be up on my Avensis then and I'm not sure whether I'll bother going for another one immediately. Much as I love the LS400 the Camry would be a more sensible daily driver and despite the work required I think it would be better to resurrect mine than find another one.

Sounding a bit much for a trek to Norfolk I'm afraid. But then you just don't see them for sale. Have they all rotted away? They're hideously fantastic.

Some great suggestions folks, though rather too many lack the all-important tow bar.

The 2.0 Accord Honey Badger posted looks good value. Are you considering it Ian? If not I'm tempted myself at that price for some OMG Honda reliability!

No, because no tow bar. Also, was that the blue one? One year too new.

...and if LP hasn't already suggested it - Nissan Serena?

The one vehicle that can actually be out accelerated by a 2CV. Largo looks interesting though, and I think they came with turbos.
