Anyone near Withernsea - Request to look at a car

[gadgetgricey]

Pains me to ask this, but is anyone near Withernsea and able to have a look at a possible P.O.S. Merc for me.

Fully aware of the problems with Auto Merc's but ever since the wife hired one from Easy Rent a car years ago, she has always had a soft spot for them.

BUT it has to be in that god awful purple colour.

 

I'm also the cheapskate and want it to be pre 2000 so falls into the lower 1.4 tax bracket.

 

This one fits all the options as above, apart from the interior looks rank. (I hope that's paint on the rear seats) and the exterior looks pretty bad as well.

 

I'm down in Birmingham so not easily able to have a gander myself.

 

Happy to supply beer/petrol tokens if anyone is able to pop over and have a look.

 

Thanks again
