Not even the (slightly less unsuccesful) van version? I've seen shorty Kangoo vans UK reg and RHD but they are very rare. They stopped making Clio vans and the shorty Kangoo seemed like a replacement for them. Recently I swore I saw a shorty Citan but not sure if I imagined it or not. Did they do shorty Citans?

Yep, we've still got a couple of 08 reg ones at our office. They are fucked but if they can last 14 years and counting with Royal Mail they can't be too bad. They had been withdrawn once but were reinstated when covid came and we weren't allowed to share vans. For some reason they have stayed even though we've been back to van sharing for about a year.

Sorry to invoke the sierraman clause, but if a bottom book car is in the way and everyone's taking the piss, the scrap man turns up on time and pays cash. A lack of COD means, if true, that it could be put back on the road, but it may well have been craned/strapped to get it up on high. If it was a J reg, then it of course HAS TO BE SAVED.

The (sadly long gone) local auction was the same. The assistant hammer man frequently didn't know the model of the car in front of him (and we're talking like 4 or 5 year old common Fords etc) and occasionally glowed about alloy wheels that were actually trims. He was also pretty hopeless at bouncing bids off the wall, as sort of incredibly blatant schill bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
