This looks like a beauty for the cash.



I wonder if the missis would mind if I traded in the family Passat Estate for this?

What mpg does the Passat do? Then I'll tell you what one of them does!!

You used to have something similar I remember, a 70s SL? What donkey was in it? MPG would be similar I reckon!

Yeah, he shouts a lot about the condition of the car too, no rust, best in Ireland and all that lark. Its been on Carzone steady since last June at least. I didn't view the car, but the lad who bought my 450SEL last year did.
