Sorry I can’t work out how to link this and the photos are awful, but it seems cheap doesn’t it?

Anyone got any sympathy for this presumably soon-to-be-ULEZ-victim fishface?

Rather sun faded for sale sign in the rear window suggests that the seller has not been inundated with people keen to hand over their asking price, and the tax is up at the end of the month, so they might take a bid?

MOT history suggests that it'll still be on less than 60,000 miles. Only one advisory last time, O/S sill, which looks to me like it'd still only be an advisory:

It's a 1.25 16V rather than a cruddy Endura. Does need a new tailgate though really:

Anyway it's a 7 minute bike ride from my house and if anyone fancies it I'd be delighted to act as middleman / delivery driver for my usual consideration of a bit of beer money.

The fitment of the headlights is hilariously half arsed.

To be fair to Pininfarina, the headlights seem to have been modified later, they looked different originally:

Much better imo! It could also do with thinner (or no) white walls...

When I worked for the council I drove a Combo 1.3 CDTi, it seemed dangerously underpowered and very laggy.

The small capacity diesel engines are only any use if you spend most of the day at cruising speed - same is true of my 1.6 Octavia... It's great, but I wouldn't be of the same opinion if I needed brisk acceleration frequently.

Bigger = better.

Research complete. Thanks all!

That strange short Kangoo no one asked for, and which was much more expensive than a normal Kangoo because Renault tried to market it as some sort of posh lifestyle vehicle. Needless to say they didn't sell many...

Have you ever tried to find a parking space big enough for a Volvo in the back streets of Montmartre? Everything has its place.

I've got a very, very old magazine article featuring that. I haven't seen it for at least 20 years. Still, I recognised it as soon as you posted it.

Those back lights look like they have been filched from the Marina parts bin. Really needed some a tad bigger but probably not full on Volvo 940.

Actually weighing that up, but 2.4 petrol and that (Luton) box must make MPG and MPH a sodding nightmare. It does have LPG though.

Looks like a Mohs Safaricar and a Fiat 130 Coupe got jiggy before the end result was purified with BLAND.
