The one I already own is currently in dry heated storage beacause I don't need it at the moment so I couldn't realistickly buy another but they are a great car which is why mine is stored up for future use. I don't envisage a time when I will ever sell mine.

Only just round the corner from my parent's ranch... and in my favourite colour... argh...

I've bought an awful lot of stuff from P&T Moore. Many happy hours poking around their yard with my dad when I was small (until the world went insurance mad, now they don't let you go round on your own unless it's quiet!)
Good heavens! My signature's been moderated...

I have the TZD version of this car and it's a great, comfortable city car but I find it frustrating to drive long distances especially with a full load as it's so slow. I don't think the auto is well matched to the engine, although kickdown adjustment can make a difference if it's really out.

The Doc will know more about this but the auto is the weak point if not looked after. Mine had a limited history and for some period had been running with a low pressure, I think, and now sometimes slips in low if you really welly it from the lights. Still with careful driving it lasted this way for several years!

Brilliant colour, low mileage, diesel, ok the auto isn't to everyone's taste, but at that price its a bargain regardless, i'm surprised it hasn't been snapped up yet.
