I know it's only a 2 litre but it's manual, £150 worth of road tax fair mileage & history & a tad different. As a budget motor i'd prefer it to a eurobox, just depends on the reserve.

i really like that, 2.0 sufficient for pottering back and forth, and be great to have clean and standard
-
its a 1.8 not a 2 litre, from the photo,s seems a good honest motor with low miles, they are usually bullet proof if looked after,
mate of mine had one as a taxi it did 397000 miles before he gave it to a mate of his, who still runs it!!!!
as you say reserve would be the killer on amotor like this
-
hmmm 1.8 might pull you out of bed, but wont take the skin off your custard.. ;D ;D
would still have it tho.

good car , but Amigo why you dont consider something smaller also for easy parking, easy washing etc..
ps :today I washed both omega and clit .. they were muddy .. and miggy exactly took twice the time for washing clit :o

The 1800 was not to bad in those, the 2.0 was only 100bhp (cam in head engine)
-
Not looking to buy it, i'm happy with the MV6 & the Cortina but if i was looking for a solid old bus to run around in i reckon i could do worse.

i think your idea of cheap is diffrent from mine.
mine is 250 pounds with a long mot and a bit of tax
thats 500 and not met the reserve yet.
but i still like it
