R reg petrol amazon as well
Karl so the someone has clearly jumped the queue. Id stay away from petrol for the moment. My first choice is still the 24v. So the advantages of the 24 valve is it just the ability to tune the pump? What else - i would imagine it would maybe rev a bit quicker and maybe a bit more fuel efficient. Looks like all the guys who have owned more than one 80 usually end up with a 24v

Chris.The queue....... This is a 12v auto and as you say your looking for a 24v manual Tobie. I wanted what i have for the simple reason better on fuel and its the last 80 made.Also i want to do some trips in the future and the manual IMHO theres less to go wrong The auto 12v is great if thats what people are looking for.
No. The car for you is a 12v. No doubt. Forget 24v, they are complicated, thirsty, underpowered and way over priced. Get yourself a nice tidy 12v auto to start with. If you see a 24v, let me know, I'll deal with it.

Outwardly, I'd say that looked pretty good. Nice low miles to and good colour. Honestly, I would go and look at that even if it's not quite what you are after. You have seen one, told us what you thought and we have commented. Maybe if you looked at it again you might see it differently. Look at any you get the chance to. Even those in the car park outside the shops. Get to know them.
If you liked this one, and it drove well and you got for bargain price, you could flip it in a few months and get your money back! I know it's an auction, but if was straight, I'd throw £3k on the bonnet and let him speak.

wonder what happened to the front bumper and why there's no mention of why it's missing in the pictures and the panels are dented like it was pushed into them 
Passenger side side light is missing as well and rust round the tailgate window, but it's in very good condition

That's not to say it's not worth a look but I'd be starting off pretty suspicious with that not having been mentioned 'up front'.
Agreed Jon its a dodgy start. The guy came back and said we have to wait until snow cleared. My daughter just went out in a Fiat 500 - and my friend in his Landy drives from the Pentlands to Livingston every day - what is up with the land cruisers..........
I asked about the bumper
