    Can somebody help me out here...

    I'm looking for something cheap and reliable with NCT. I only need this car to get me through a year of college so if the NCT is until May/June next year that's grand.

    I don't care too much what it looks like to be honest. Anything bar Cinquacento/Matiz considered.

    My budget is 600/700 euro. Am I asking for too much?!

    David

    I'll have a look- I had it in my head for some reason that the oil cooler in the XJS was different.

    I picked up an early W126 at the weekend... actually got it for its wheels. The rest of the car may already be taken, but if you have no luck getting parts elsewhere give me a shout because I am not 100% sure what will be done with the car.

    Have a 99 S320 Merc (W220), would be interested in a deal /swop for Merc 500 / 560 SL OR something smaller than the S with a V8 in it - reason, the S JUST fits in the garage but would prefer to have something in there I can walk around instead of moving it in and out everytime when i want to get something.

    That Reliant is tempting, really it is.

    just took some pics,as you can see the car is in reasonable condition, it drives well,i would prefer to swop for another classic,as in order to sell it i would need to put a price on it,that i feel would put it out of an enthusists reach.
    but if i don't get any serious offers,i will put it on ebay at the weekend.
