I like these. It's only £1500 and it's got a cool wing on the back. In Brum.

Is it the Prance engine? (VTS 180)

I would like to try one of these. This actually has the old 2.0 N/A EW10 unit, same as in the late 206 GTi 180 (as its ad says), which I would also like a go in one day, to see if the torque steer really is as bad as they say. Prince engines will be turbocharged in one way or another when above 120bhp. I did once lease a Prince-engined 2012 DS3 THP 155 (HV12OGN to look up if you're bored) which was very quick, smooth and economical. A lot better than I thought it was going to be anyway. However, I can imagine it being a bit of a needy little thing nowadays.

Don't just scroll past that one guys.  That looks like an opporchancity.

The exception that proves the rule.  An old Skool Ford for sale in South Africa.  It's not easy/impossible to register an imported car in South Africa (ask me how I know) so I wonder if he's hit registration problems.  I also wonder if it's been nicked off a Dagenham driveway.  12K GBP.

I went to see that in the summer with its previous owner,  now seems to have an MOT which is good but needed a fair bit of work on paint/arches and few bits underneath going to need attention soon.   

Still tempted again 🤦🏼

I think that last MOT looked a bit 'friendly'.....

that place thats flogging the white Riva estate posted earlier in the threads seems to have a few other projects

I had one of these a few years ago. I loved it but had to move it on due to me developing mobility problems and found it nearly impossible to get in or out of. Fast and decent handling, I smoked a golf gti on the motorway one day, and saw off many hot hatches locally. Well worth buying. My old one is on this forum with @FakeConcernalthough is not on the road just now. I would consider one again, for a toy, would be no use to me as a daily.

It does look nice! Not the Prince engine but the PSA EW10J4S as used in the more powerful 206 GTI, the later Loeb THP had the Prince, I never had one one but been in a few and would have like one as well.

Very nice example I love the weird look of them, shame this doesn't have the pn roof or JLB stereo as two of mine had.

Yes I (technically belongs to my daughter) still have this in my Mother's garage on SORN. I think I'll have to get rid at some point as it's too expensive for daughter to run and anyway she doesn't really love it as I did. It's not as nice as the one seen here, more miles and some rust on rear arches (lived in Scotland!)  but does have leather JLB and pan roof!
