Thanks - I did get a decent price for it but it still seemed like not a lot - but then I reckon it would have needed money spent on it this year

Like the caravan, used to tow a lot with my old Senator. Got rid of the van about 10 years ago :(

Thanks - it is a good way of having a holiday, 2 weeks in COrnwall just have food to worry about

Nice looking car Martin very much like mine  :D

What was the mileage like when it chaged hands.

142,000 and I originally put it on Auto Trader at £1000, dropped to £800, sold on Ebay eventually for £640 (well not on Ebay but just off Ebay)

If I had kept it any longer I would be looking at

1) Rusty door tops
2) Replacing stud on head for exhaust
3) Gearbox oil & filter change

I seem to cover quite a high mileage - sold to a Russian chap who after an Omega - never saw him on the internet after.

My current car is 60,000 miles less, 600cc more, and 5 years newer

First meega i drove too. And it could shift. Police spec was it not Jim?  :)
