Where abouts are you Campbell. I know absolutely nothing about cars so you could maybe give it a once over - bit late but hey ho.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check tyres first and then look at the geo.

Yes Ed it was the car from Mannerstons. Passing it most days was a killer and when he stuck it up for sale...
Hi John

Is this the silver one with red leather and black wheels?

I had my eye on it haha, but not in a position to buy yet, hope it's a good un :thumbsup

To be fair, I’ve only driven mine twice this year and it feels very much likely I’ve completely forgotten how to drive it.

I was dropping my 7 year old off at Taekwondo. It was a sit in the car job and I wanted to take the family hatch - bit more comfy and it has a radio. But my son took a strop so we went in the Elise. :D

Easily fit a radio

Plus it’s a nice seat to sit in

Shoulda said - you could’ve visited here for a cuppa - we are a stones throw from Mill Rd ind estate!
