    My first ever link, a car that will run forever for under a grand but not for the cosmetically conscious.

    NCT until the end of next month with less than 100 miles since last NCT.

    You could tell us more about it instead of just posting a blind link to something we might have no interest in...

    Absolutely.

    Reminds me of a red Cinquecento Sporting that I bought around 10 years ago.
    Was a lovely shade of pink! Polished it up, and it looked incredible, but alas, after a bit of time, it slowly lost the redness again
    Ended up selling it for good money after about 18 months ownership, but have recently regretted selling it as they are as rare as hens teeth now

    NCT is a bit too short for comfort, but otherwise its textbook bangernomics.

    All that work to weld a boot onto a 147 just for an LPG tank. That's dedication. :p

    I'd drive it in between getting something else if I was stuck,but for less, so not sure about the price, being right on top of the next nct, I think it helps if the owner just gets it done, know someone who did the same, they wouldn't part with 55 or so quid to do the nct and encourage a buyer for their car and were astonished no one called.
    Ideal for that poster looking for something to do delivery, probably still reliable, insurance might be a killer.

    Yeah! Bought it in 2008 and it was 1997 model with around 12,000 miles on it. Think there was about 14,500 on it when I sold it after. It was like a new car!

    Right lads and lasses, last banger Skoda is due the test, and it will in it's ****e pass, so I'm on the hunt for something reasonable, that isn't thirsty, and that won't poison me with fumes, like the Skoda is.

    50-70km a day, longer runs reasonably frequently, no need for a huge boot, and I'm not allowed any Alfas.

    Mostly b and a road driving, can be a thirsty drive every day in a petrol, so maybe a smaller diesel engine, or a frugal petrol.

    I don't want to admit it, but a Corolla is probably ideal, but cronically dull.
