Exactly.

The way people pronounce Capri Sun and the island of Capri is usually correct (with the emphasis on ‘cap’)
The car was named after the island, but people pronounce Ford Capri with the emphasis on the ‘ri’ bit.
Apparently it drives the Italians mad when British tourists pronounce it wrong too.

British tourists drive everyone mad, well at least they used to before Brexit.

A Megane 3 that isn’t a 1.5

This is a 1.9 dci Dynamique Tom Tom

Scabby wheels aside, this is a lot of car for the money. €280 tax is the icing on the cake.

I think it's a great time to be buying those Beetles, that one look tidy, shame the sill is beat in on it (and most of them for that matter).

I'd honestly rather take the bus, such a soulless car from one that is so iconic. They're cheap for a reason and that one is over priced imo.

They will become rare though, and despite not being loved when they were new, they will be desirable when they get old - to a whole different generation.

Hippies

The ones working for NGOs that are all moving into the bog lands down the country....

They will have their bikes, boards for the water and the beetle to look hip....

Yes, its way too much money for what it is but I definitely would :pac:

89 205 with 78k miles, NCT all the way to October 2022, tax til June, €1950

Toyotafanboi · 12-02-2021 08:56PM

I didn't think it was too bad price wise tbh until you really study it and see the whole passenger side is caved in.

Looks like a 4 speed or I'm just blind.

Duke O Smiley · 12-02-2021 09:06PM

It would be a 4 speed alright

I love the retro radio unit on that peugeot

So you want this €750 car to come with a fresh nct and a full valet. Would you like a warranty with it as well?

He didnt say any of that to be fair.
And even if he did, the first 2 could be potentially no more than 80 odd quid.
You pulled warranty out of thin air, so not going to even debate that.

I really like this..
The wheels and the passenger side rear arch are the only minuses .

that 205 would be classed as a vintage?

Yes, on both counts.

My parents have a lovely little one just like that. I borrowed it recently for a few weeks. Lovely little car - great fun to drive.

For Forks Sake · 13-02-2021 12:17AM

Wouldn't be my cup of tea, but its got an NCT and at only the 46k on it, I can only assume that it was previously owned by a recently deceased nun. Asking 2200
