Rare as rare can be in the UK. Definitely needs saving.

And at that price, if you throw £550 at it it’s still firmly in AS territory.

But I suspect it would grow roots on you.

I have always said, Everything is for sale. Even my Astro van, but this Oldsmobile is fast becoming a favourite.

I would have had that at the price, but too many vehicles on my driveway.

It's a Spanish waiter though? Fortunately that's a deal breaker here for t'missus (who likes the seat colour(?) and THAT roof lining). Narrow escape.

p.s. wheels look OK though

Why do so many people see roof linings as deal breakers?
Either quick fix or resto.
Maanuel is my preference.

SEAT Arosa 1.4 MPI

I think these are nicer to drive than the Lupo, lighter steering, softer ride and more comfortable seats. They do seem to rot twice as bad though.

i am biased

It's a great price - just a lottery on what they mean by low oil pressure - could be anything from the oil pressure light on at low revs to a death rattle. But very nice. Interesting car - from the Lee Ioccoa era. Another milestone vehicle - the 'mini van'.

It's got a 2.5 dismal though instead of the V6. Is that going to be the multi-headed monster VM?

Yup - that's the one. I had the slightly bigger CC version in a Jeep KJ - 4 cylinder, quite agricultural but had a decent amount of low down torque for towing with - wouldn't fancy it in the minivan thing - that needs to be column change, automatic, pezz V6 or V8 please

Yes it is, the sensors are known for going bad and giving a duff reading but looking at the MOT history it’s done mega miles and probably hasn’t been looked after so the engine probably is toast

It is - wonder what it will go for? (We ran a slightly older one for a year or two but that was quite crispy around the rear end - nice wee car for the summer though)

This is too expensive for the Low Cost High Liability thread so - here we have: Bit pricey for me but the boot contents may help justify the price (if you are into that sort of thing)?

Ford Transit, 1990, 2 litre petrol engine - twin rear axle, spares or repair | eBay UK

Despite the fact they got Spongebob to take a photograph of the interior, it's still not worth £50 as it's got the wrong engine
