I spotted a X reg facelift today on ASDA's car park ..... in an uncommon green colour. It was in fantastic condition ... no rot in sight. I spoke to the owner who had only owned it for a few weeks & paid the princely sum of £500 for it. Bargain of the year! It was 'only' a 2.2 CD but none the less it looked a damned good buy!  :y

I suppose the humble 2.2 gets a bit of a kicking for having two cylinders missing. :)

Haha, It doesn't go any where in the bad weather as I might seize up or go rusty if I get wet.  :-\

A manual Desmond was a bit more spritely than the Auto, but it has enough oomph to get out of its own way. Obviously it's never going to be as smooth as a V6 and it's a fair chunk of torque short of the 3.0/3.2, but it will get the job done.
