Spiny Norman Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I quite fancied one of those when I was thinking of a cheap cabrio in spring. One of the best bargain 2 seater drop tops I reckon, and having just bought an old K series Freelander I completely share your apprehension. Looks good though, looking forward to seeing more pics of it topless if the sun ever comes back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chompy_snake Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Just remembered .... It's an Abingdon edition whatever the heck that means and has tan dash which isn't that common. Do want some matching tan seats and door cards for it in the future and maybe the tan hood if that's what it's supposed to have as the hood has been replaced not too far in the past.

spartacus Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Great, WBOD. Has it really done as low mileage as the MOT site suggests. You can't go wrong at that money for a car with nearly a years ticket, it looks great, well bought. Also ideal for hooning around in Tesco car park later when all the Barry boys show up!

overrun Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Nice colour. I personally can't abide the driving position in these. For a sports car, they dropped the ball. Can't complain for the money though, as long it behaves. davehedgehog31, Jerzy Woking, Datsuncog and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed the mileage is that low. Currently sits at about 69k I think. spartacus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my SW20 turbo fits like a glove and is low down and laid back, how a sports car should be, IMO. I drove a VVC MG F and it felt like this. ?

bub2006 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I drove 17 miles to pick up chompy. Then a further 70 miles north to look at a shed of a car he thankfully didnt buy to then drive back and end up picking this up less than 2 miles from my front door. Can only happen to us. ?

It took Ford another 10 years to match what Rover did with the K-Series. Don't let a bit of polymer plastic and lack of maintenance sour a good engine.
