Description
Starts on the button, drives and pulls well, does 50+ mpg. The main problem is the rear sub frame is rotten, in the past I would have welded it, but apparently your not allowed to do that any more. I was going to do the work myself and get her back on the road, but I just don't have the time. It has Air Con, cruise control, electric windows all round, automatic head lights, 6 CD changer, all the usual stuff you would expect from a Ghia. It has a tow bar with twin electrics, the back seats fold down flat, giving it a very big boot. No warning lights lit.
It's an old car so has plenty of dings and scratches, too many too list, so please see the photos.
It has been a very good, comfortable, work horse, but it failed the Mot on the 12 August 2025. and has been sitting there with a full tank of diesel (the starting price just covers the cost of the diesel) wait for me to get around to it, so it's now time for it to go.
Just remember it is an MOT Failure, so you will need to put it on a trailer to take it away.
