wasn't going to be anything else - there's a hood issue (it works but has a tear) but with 21k on the clock and a full history with receipts, I think it's a good un and worth fixing the roof.

it's an 02 306 - one of the last. Looked at 206cc but useless as a four seater.

Have seen a few 02 306s advertised in the past week or so.

Nice. We had one in the family, and in the same colour, but an S1 shape, prooved to be a problem-less car. Was a 1.6 8v petrol though -just adequate, think they made 90ps back then? What's the engine in yours?
