Salvageable though I reckon.

Quick aside, why is ED FUCKING SHEERAN and Queen on the same CD?

You can find Ed Sheeran in most other artist’s music tbf.

I was thinking that looked like a lovely car that's probably done no miles and a decent price.

Then I saw the mileage. Fuck sitting in something like that for 150,000 miles. I'd rather put a cocktail stick down my japs eye!

I'll be interested to see how much they drop the asking price tbh. Folks around here always overprice their cars as there seems to be a reluctance on the part of buyers to wander further afield to look at cars - the cars drop off FB/eBay readily enough so, as a ploy, it may work.
Couple of driveway dealers I know pick stuff up at the Birmingham/Brissol auctions, bring it over here and make a few hundred quid - kind of hard work but they like it.

That must be extremely rare with the steel sunroof.  I thought the VX490 should have tartan seats, the seats look wrong for the car, still a great find and well worth saving. It needs quite a bit of bodywork but a great car when done. I remember these when new as I lived behind a Vauxhall dealer so could see their forecourt from my parents bedroom window. There were not many Vauxhalls which excited me but a late model VX490 or Vauxhall sports hatch were great looking cars. I remember the owner of the Chinese takeaway had one of the last VX490’s new, it was bronze with a tan roof and tan tartan seats, it looked fantastic.

Thanks, been for sale for a while. Deserves to be saved as it's pre launch registration date, if I was in a different place I'd do it myself, but I found out before, one Mondeo is enough ;-).  I think the price is perhaps a little high.

Good luck with the headlight alignment.

Fly out with plates from a legit series and a hammer; correct headlamp alignment, attach plates, drive home for tea and medals. WCPGW? In reality it's over priced and over there.

Another one though.

I've done the majority of the 12,000 miles my wife's 2007 Panda has done. That's been difficult enough.

I'll be fucked if I'd wanted to do 130,000 miles in one of these frankly underpowered pile of shites.
The radiator pipes are made of chocolate. I can imagine this will be an absolute nightmare for overheating.
