Spottedlaurel Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 5 hours ago, motorpunk said: Goodwood Revival. It was one of the best years I’ve had there. Almost no shite to be spotted but (and excise the pic quality), I did jog after this to get a pic. It was on a V plate and is a Mitsubishi. The proportions are perfect, I love it. But what model is it? Celeste (which is effectively a Lancer coupe). Looks like a late one which would have rectangular headlamps. Quite a wide engine choice with three different 1.6/2-litre options available, fairly straightforward underpinnings but they look great. I wonder if that one has been lowered a touch? They always seemed to sit a bit high. motorpunk, MiniMinorMk3, Semi-C and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A LWB transporter or something would have more room inside and feel smaller to drive. I suppose there's the small chance that someone has a wide but short driveway.

robthedonkey Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Oh it keeps up and embarrasses most hot hatches etc ... and and hybrid so massive instant torque. And wafts in luxury too ... I have a much higher spec one on order for February delivery so have this in the mean time but can't really call it the base or pov version when it's still a lovely place to be and is over £45k for this model Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good number of these Sprinters and the Iveco Daily equivalent used here in Bg. They do look very strange. I'll try get pics next time I spot 1.

iainrcz Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 My brother is insane. He wants a stop gap car as his Volvo lease has just finished. He's thinking about a 2.2 Sorrento in fucking Liverpool, only 3 hours away that looks like an Eastern european special. Bear in mind the mental cunt hasn't got a car to go and look at it. I just found him a couple of year older, lower mileage Touran 5 minutes away, that's half the price, but apparently that isn't good enough. The Sorrento seller will deliver it too apparently. privatewire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
