vehicle description:

Sadly the time has come for me to sell on this fantastic little car. I am only the second owner and I have owned her for four or five years. During this time she has been the families emergency car being pressed into service whenever one of us is off the road for any reason and she has never once let us down in any way. Unfortunately I have just purchased another spare car but that one is capable of 150mph, and my wife informs me that I cannot keep both so...
 She has a full service history and comes with three keys, including the master. Less than two hundred miles ago she was given a full service which included the cambelt, an exhaust system and a tyre, there is about nine months MOT remaining but if the winning bidder wants to fork out the fee I would be happy to put a new ticket on her.
What you are getting is a 800cc three cylinder engine driving through a three speed automatic gearbox, she is probably the easiest car I have ever driven, a bit like a road going dodgem. Top speed is 70+ MPH and I have driven her on some fairly long journeys however, where she really thrives is around traffic, you can get through some ridiculously small gaps and park in tiny spaces and generally annoy much bigger cars.
The real party trick though is the interior, you really can seat four normal size adults in reasonable comfort, the rear seats move fore and aft and recline individually so you can choose between luggage and people space, they also roll up completely and make a pretty good little van. Probably its greatest feature is the seats ability to all lie flat and make quite a serviceable double bed!
Mechanically she is very good nick indeed, if I was being very fussy I might think about changing the gearbox mount, if you stamp on the throttle sometimes you get a thump, but it"s been like it since I"ve owned her and it isn"t getting any worse. Other than that it"s all hunky-dory, the battery is pretty new and there are new front springs plus the exhaust and cambelt etc. The only other thing that I can think of is that, every now and then, the drivers electric window catches on the trim and it has to shoved back into place.
As for the outside, I was going to say that, aside from a couple of little scuffs it was very straight indeed. Unfortunately, as I was backing out to take these pictures, I reversed into horse box trailer hitch. Doh! as Homer would say, I have put a small ding in the offside rear corner (please see picture) but it is pretty minor ( but I was majorly upset). But, aside from that and a couple of wheel trims she is in lovely nick, I can find one spot of rust, about the size of a 5p near the back window but it just needs touching in.
So then, reasons to buy this car:
Low mileage.
Two mature owners.
Fully serviced.
Ready to go.
All major work done.
Tiny enough to go anywhere, big enough to carry everything.
Cheap to run.
You can"t help smiling when you drive her!
Perfect for:
New drivers.
Students, don"t forget the double bed if you get lucky.
Mature drivers who just want something easy and cheap.
Motorhome owners. Stick it behind and be able to pop out at your leisure, don"t suffer with a hideous smart car.
Budget conscious drivers.
Really tall people. Honestly the headroom is ridiculous, you could wear a top hat in here.
And reasons not to bid on this vehicle:
You haven"t got any money. I mean, really, why do people insist on doing this?
You are a fairly large person. What it has in headroom it loses in width, mind you, me and the wife can fit in and neither of us are super models....
You live in Outer-Mongolia and you would like me to deliver it for a tenner. No.
You would like to part ex your MOT failure Vauxhall. I have enough rubbish thank you.
You would like to make me an insultingly low offer. I"m not asking much anyway so please don"t try.
You are a Nigerian prince who needs to clear a million quid out of your account. No problem, just bring the cash round.
You want to place the winning bid and then haggle. You"re welcome to view before the auction ends but, if not, you are obliged to stump up what you bid. Unless you can prove that I"ve been dishonest of course.
You are looking for the ultimate in performance and luxury. Wrong car mate.
OK that"s it, anyone with less than 10 positives please drop me a line with a landline number. All questions answered reasonably honestly and quickly. I"d prefer cash on collection etc. etc.
Happy bidding!
