Looks like it could be a nice example. Why has he put you off?

Looks like a nice clubby estate at a good price to me.

Would it be your only car, and would you need to do lots of miles in it?

If so it might be an issue if your not mechanically minded, but not necessarily a problem...

The practicality of running isn't a problem, but 'tis for the wife to drive most of the time, perhaps 5K miles a year.
I already have a project car or two so for the moment he's probably right about not getting it.

Maybe next year eh.

Just love the slightly retro look of the arch extensions and those period dunlop alloys.
