Title: Nice 3.2 on the bay.
Post by: Rangie on 12 March 2020, 15:08:39
Item number 303509198179 looks quite nice might be worth considering if you're in the market for one.

Very low mileage and seems correct according to MOT history ..some years doing less than 2k so plenty of short trips or been standing for months at a time ...tidy enough from pictures though

If I could garage it I would buy it & get the bodywork sorted nice little project for my retirement, and not silly money.

to prove the point type eBay item number     233312224139

Wait! My iPad highlights any series of numbers like that, whether it's actually a direct link or not! So your link looks exactly the same, on a iPad, as Tilbo's numbers in the first post. Yours takes me to the eBay page, the first one asks me if I want to call that number.

As people seem to have difficulty copying & pasting the eBay number into eBay, I just made it a direct link ..... you are obviously very easily confused .... ???

STEMOs two states of being:

Confused.
Crapping.

Sometimes they overlap..

Fairly sure (I'd have to check on my iPhone) that if you hold your finger on the 'link' it gives you the option of either calling or copying the number.. I think. I could check if I was really bored...

Correct.  :y. (I'm really bored)  ;D

Tap the number and you get 'Call or Cancel', press and hold gives you Send Message - Add to Contacts - Copy.

Andy obviously added a direct link to save doing any of the above.  :y

Yes, my bad. Until you press or hover, both numbers look the same and are both highlighted in blue. Every day is a school day, it's just that I'm a very badly behaved pupil.

I think I've seen this car about. It does look tidy, if it's the one I'm thinking of.

You're certainly in the right area, if I could keep it under cover I'd definitely go & take a look at it would love another one always regretted selling my 2.6 which was in superb nick.

It's what's underneath that counts and, if this one was rot free, it would probably be the only one in the country. You just can't stop 19 winters taking their toll. Comfortable as they are, they are horrendous on fuel consumption and I doubt they are desirable enough to keep as a Sunday car.

But each to their own.

24mpg isn't that horrendous, or that's what I keep telling myself. To me a really nice one is nice enough to keep as a Sunday car, in fact mine is almost that.

Just be nice to have a vehicle that is without doubt getting a rarer sight on our roads, as for MPG that wouldn't concern me at all always had gas guzzllers.😎

Now if I bought that house with the big garage, that's the sort of thing I'd buy to tinker with, but then I'd see something else and buy that too and so on.  ::)

Then when I kicked it, you'd see a job lot ebay 'barnfind' auction....  :D  ;D

i'm getting 23.8 MPG but have been hoofing it around recently  ;D

the lower MPG is easy to offset against the depreciation of something newer and less comfy
