The time has come to sell my pride and joy, bought in July 2017 and used to travel up and down the country it has been very reliable, and fairly economic (~37 mpg)! Taken off road and SAWN for a few months ago as I got a new job with a ~80 mile commute and it’s too nice a car to run into the ground. MOT until 22nd May 2019, advisories nearside & offside suspension arm bushes worn (not resulting in excessive movement), relatively easy and cheap fix. Interior is immaculate for an almost 30 year old car, a few minor scratches on bodywork but again excellent condition for age and no rust. Engine runs very nicely apart from slight missing when cold, this issue goes away when the car heats up and has only appeared after having the car off the road for a few months. Will cruise happily on the motorway with no noises or vibrations, lovely car will be missed.
