Thankx Lizzie, quite a few I'm afraid - 105k on a late 51 (1st reg'd feb2002)  :-/
Its about 25k over industry standard. but a steal (not literally) at £3k
also with a fully stamped service book  :y

Only one thing I'm considering changing is perhaps better alloys, although mine are in very good nick I would prefer something a bit more pimped if you know what I mean

....and privacy glass

.....and and dvd screens in the headrests for all the little Shiplanes to look at. (does anyone know costs etc)

OMG "runs to bank manager to request more finance"  ::)

Showroom bloke rung me to say that whilst preparing my car and giving it a brand spanking new MOT the garage chappie said it was time to replace the cambelt thingy (at no cost to me  :) ).. So I am NOW due to collect my pride and joy on thursday or friday 22nd or 23rd  :'( :'( :'(

This really hurts

ABSOLUTELY! A must on a car you don't know the history of. Would cost you a couple of hundred quid normally so tis no bad thing!

Check out Bob Dent's omega for some serious wheel pimpage or even these look quite nice on hammer's saloon....

I like the estate a lot too. Yours looks very nice indeed.

Cheers Derek.

I must say this is the most comfortable car I have EVER driven.
I took her up to N. Wales last friday, climbed Snowdon the long way (up the South Ridge) with a few buddies then drove back on Sunday with my legs in agony and she looked after me and arrived home fully refreshed. The 2.6 in Elite format is the perfect motorway cruiser. imho if just a little thirsty!
