Strange Hybrid?
« on: 28 February 2009, 12:29:18 »
Just bought myself another MV6, a 2000 model in black. Drove it up from Southampton to Scotland last night - absolutely perfect.

Now, it does not have a leather interior and it has a fairly basic audio system, no nav, no integrated phone, all of which were present and correct on my 1998 model (which I still have). I'm not to bothered about the lack of toys however as its the size/engine/estate attraction for me.

So, is this some weird hybrid that the original owner could have specified or is it more likely to be a replacement interior.

Its here until they take it down as its now mine!

Hello and a very warm welcome to you! :y

Please feel free to put any questions you have in "General Chat", but lack of toys in an MV6 often indicates it is ex-police. ;)

Thanks all. I'm not actually new - I posted a problem with my 1998 MV6 a few months ago and thats one of the reasons I've been hunting for a new one. Its got the wandering steering/driving on marbles problem and after replacing/checking everything including the Servotronic relay at vast expense, its not fixed. So I gave up and  bought another car.....

So for a while we are a 4 car family. I'm keeping any eye on the Governments 'Scrappage Proposals' like they've been doing in France and Germany where new car sales are now heading North. With a bit of luck GB will give me £2k for the 1998 and I can part ex it for a new car for the wife. Considering its worth about £300 at the moment that sounds like a good deal to me.

As said above the car is likely ex plod -- you could always swap bits over  :)

Scrappage, once messed about by the UK govt will probably not seem so ennticing if and when its finds it's way over here :-/

Nice looking car    :y

Could it be ex-plod if it's an auto?

*edit*
Also very low mileage if it is ex-plod...
