If it wasn't for the horrible fuel efficiency I'd love this. Having to fill the tank every 300 miles killed me.

You're right there
Worst car I ever owned from a fuel economy point of view, I used to get about 20mpg if I was lucky
I even had an E39 5 series 2.5 automatic and it did around 25mpg! :eek:

Great room in it alright. I was towing a trailer with firewood one day when the axle broke on the trailer at the side of the road. Opened the back window and filled it to the neck with all the firewood in the trailer

That's nothing. I had a 2.4 petrol one. Fuk me it was a thirsty beast. Almost €50 to get to Redcross in Wicklow from Ashbourne..and the same to get home :eek:

24 to the gallon was more than the wife's 2.0 petrol X-Trail ever managed...
Excellent in every other way, but you'd need a tame Arab to keep it in juice...

I really cannot see how any sensible person on a bangernomics budget could justify one of these over, say, a focus or i30 or similar. Unless you have a family of baby elephants.

For towing and only short trips it would be perfect. Higher tax is a killer of course.

Ah, I was thinking of that one, but on my walk this morning the 5 Tucsons of that era that I spotted had no towbars. It's usually 1 or 2 kids in the back.

The car was changing from around then but started really around 2007 onwards where people have been going the fake suv route..... Space for the buggy and easier with the height for getting the kids in and out of their seats...

Corolla gls with NCT until 10/21 and 9 months tax. This was the top UK spec for it's day with elec sunroof, 4 elec windows and air con.

Nice find! That's incredible value at that money
Looks to be in great condition too and that front wing looks like a dead simple fix
Pity it's up in Donegal

Same owner for last 6 years too

Hadn't even checked the ownership! That bodes well. And nice to have a few more switches inside than misery Irish spec ones

Nice looking 05 MG ZS with NCT til September 2021, €999

Heap of alleged recent work, head gasket (of course!) and timing belt etc. Could be a nice buy

Mad_Mike

Perfect colour and all
That would definitely tempt me, and especially with the head gasket sorted

I didn't think the ZS came with the small engine. Definitely a car that will appreciate in value in the coming years.

It seems that only Ireland & Portugal got the 1.4 version

Looks fantastic, specially for the price.

Do you think he set it down there with the forklift?

Looks good but if it's 'that' good then why only 1 photo?

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

I got burnt more than once with Roverheaters. It would be one of the last cars I’d hand over any kind of money for again.

bazz26

Maybe the forklift was the donor car for all that claimed work.

I've seen that set up before years ago. I think he's in the A-Team. He's going to do a forklift/Rover hybrid and take out the bad guys in the town.

If you get it wrong you end up with the performance of a forklift and the lifting capacity of a Rover. Bad guys die laughing, so its win-win!

the fork lift has a 1.4 conversion as well

The 6 months tax on that is the icing on the cake!

Fella up the road has 2 of these.

26000 Elephants

We had one of them for about 2 years, grand car. That Opel 1.8 is a reliable lump if serviced, but will be juicy in the heavy Croma - as it was in our 159.

But for the money you cant go wrong. Rear springs are brittle, but cheap.
