ha ha - he's turned it down three times already (2009, plus twice in 2010 - in Warrington) - nice to see the door still ain't fixed!

its the only one left, in fact i would go so far as to say its probably as rare a sight as a 24v prv? surely now the silver/estate/manual/2.1/low miles is truely a rare animal.

Oh dear, your'e making me feel guilty

It's a Mk1 of course but I might have thought about it had I not been seduced by the 406, it has an auxilliary heater, fantastic in this weather .... I will think about it

no need to feel guilty Peter the 406 is a nice little car, but then you do realise its manual and silver dont you?

There have been more 24V PRVs appear on the scene this past while than TD manuals.

Thank goodness the supply of Autos is still greater, although there aren't many of them appearing now either.

Nothing wrong with a series 1 Peter. There is an awful lot of driving left in that car, and you can rest easy, you have 70K miles to cover before thinking about the head gasket

77K is very low mileage, a rare find indeed.

I wonder if the tractor sized front tyre is the recently added part worn!

I wonder about how well it has been maintained, if the owner is complaining about £35 for a part worn tyre and has added that to the buy it now price!

As is his 406! Maybe his need for a diesel, silver, estate with manual box has been filled!
