Well, it's a big old car. Not had much chance to use it yet, but it's
in condition as described. All the buttons seem to work and it shifts acceptably well Couple of bits of trim missing off the back console (not that I'm ever likely to set in the back) and the cowl for the driver's seat height adjustment is a bit loose. More worryingly, no CD changer!!!! How do I sort that in a fortnight? Suggestions, please. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Suzuki Bandit 600 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |
