That can have a look at this please??

you're not getting rid of the Elite are you Daz?
Ive always wanted an MV6 manual estate, the auto was to get me through whilst my back was knackered, im hoping after this last op that i will be able to drive a manual again and this ones looks ok from the description.
It will need to be a mini face-lift though, which i think it is.
sounds like the op was a success :question :y

...there`s one of those words I was on about:

Now how (in the name of reason) can it be pronounced; Toaster?  ;D

Its pronounced Towcester.  

just happens to sound the same as toaster.. ;)

I bet you have a problem with Keswick, Norwich, Leicester etc too don't you  ::)

Its pronounced how Debs says, "Toaster"

As in the stuff you put bread in  ;)

I am 6 miles away... i can take a look if you want one evening?
If its not to far for you Tunnie, it needs to be a mini-facelift tho........i think it is hard to tell from pics :-/

MV6 Seats

Headlight washers.

Its a mini-facelift, retail MV6 was born at mini-facelift.

I *may* be able to view it tommorow, what do you wanna know about it, general condition?

Might be better to ask TheBoy if he can swing buy, he knows far more than me.  :y

I think I'm right in saying that only the mini facelift elites and MV6's had Xenons...and therefore the washer jets...so looks like it is...

Pre mini facelifts you had washer jets but the older style lights...

I'll check the rear doors around the window rubbers, thats the usual places, and corner of the doors.

Personal thoughts are it looks like its been fiddled with, the alloys have been painted.
