Anyone near Harlow able to spare an hour??
I'm looking to buy a good car(well it looks good!!) but it's in Harlow and I'm nearly 3 hours away. It's possible if it's good that I'd be getting it later in the week ready for the weekend but really I need a set of eyes over it as there's only so much I'll trust a seller and pictures. A picture says a 1000 words but it doesn't mean any of them are true.... It's not a Citroën but it nicks the Citroën idea of not using springs and dampers to give a decent enough ride for it's size any help greatly appreciated!

Many appear to have no springs and dampers these days but my guess is:hattershaun wrote: I'm curious as to what non-Citroën car doesn't use springs & dampers!
An Austin 1800 Landcrab.....
Good choice Will although I'd have gone for an Austin Princess myself.

My first thought was a Land/Range Rover of some sort but they're now made by some Indian mob aren't they? Or is that Jaguar?
Can't be a Merc Steve as Will mentions some Britishness about it.. Nothing remotely British anywhere in a Merc...
