I actually had one on hire for a week when visiting my daughter while they were living in Italy because my son-in-law was working for Torro Rosso. It was a competent little run about, more comfortable than it looks!! Interesting to note that the exterior colour is described as 'Grey' :-D

Now at last a real tempter for me to exchange the MX3, MOT and Tax exempt, automatic, fun and small for parking. Why did it have to be white? :-D

That could be worth a closer look Matt ;) If it's as it says and it's good structurally that is...

Calling Mick,
tax exempt = yep,
Automatic = yep,
Err "good value if considered lb per ££" !?! (Within thread budget anyway)

Thanks for the thought Matt, but I have to agree with the last line of your second 'hide' !! :-D

Truth is I wouldn't need to find somewhere to park it, just somewhere to moor it!! :-D

A much more dynamic, but I'm not sure if (in a straight line) a slightly slower option for you Mick:

Auto: yep
Tax exempt: (1982 so I think so) yep
Not as big as a house: yep

That only has 3 issues Matt, badge, colour and price. Other than those it would be an option. :)
