Oddly enough I’ve often been sniffing around these for a few years but most advertised are out of my comfort level on price. There needed to be a crashed and ruined one going cheap.

grogee Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 This is... an interesting purchase. I mean, if it was free, well ok it's fine to go to the tip. But wasn't there a slightly less mouldy one available? Shirley they're all about £500ish now, whether they're ripped to pieces or still respectable? There is no more Which?

mk2_craig Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 That’s spectacularly awful. Also it is identical to the one my father in laws 96 year old mother in law still drives.

HMC Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Idles beautifully, everything works , I’ve binned the remaining seat covers and thrown a blanket over the rear seat backs.

gadgetgricey Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Never driven a Verso, but used to rent Yari (Yes I'm classing that as plural for Yaris) from Easy rent a car when they were a £1 a day, for no other reason than they were a £1 a day. Great cars and loved the central pod for the speedo /rev counter. Astra GTE esque.

Datsuncog Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Is that a cassette/ CD combo fitted? Great to see this pressed into immediate use - when they first appeared on the roads I thought the Verso was truly gopping in appearance, but two decades of BMWs seems to have redefined this for me...

Yes to be honest its quite fun to drive (an auto so a bit like a go kart) I shared with @RobT some screenshots the vendor put on the listing of other users messages. Sort of could have been ill advised to deal with. I was hammered anyway. But actually I met him today and he was a really decent bloke. He sends a lot of stuff to Nigeria, and Tavistock as it turns out. RobT and outlaw118 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
