THE GREATER GOOD.

Given that he's quoted £600 to you, I'd still be tempted to go there with a fistfull of twenties and flash £500 under his nose to "drive it away right now M11".  He might buckle.  I know it's only £100, and you're looking at a fair profit if you can sell it in Eire, but if you've got the £600 on you, you can always go back up again.

I suspect he's right about how much it'll sell for on ebay.

"Here's £500 cash"

"We agreed £600?"

"Ah yes, but the feeling of having this banger off your forecourt is worth more than £100. I should be charging you for that feeling!"

Yes, top stuff. As I alluded to about 2 months ago, my Aunt traded her saloon in to some WBAC types, nowhere near as clean as this mind, but it was the same colour red pink.

I'm glad that there's a few people out there persevering with keeping hold of them.

It is done.

I freaking love it. 146k but feels like 40k.

So clean in and out

You're a lucky, lucky man to have this.

Extra points for having the whole 16 Valve thing on the dashboard as a reminder to how bloody marvellous it all is.

What's the ECON button do?

Does the aircon work?

Nope, no change and I can't see an Aircon pump. May have been removed.

Absolutely nothing, I presume it's the opposite to air con.
