Sorry
As soon as it was up we jumped on it, having waited what seems like quite a short time compared to some!
The gearbox feels nice and tight too, my last two, although low mileage must have lived around town as they had jolly floppy mechanisms.
My wife was at home when it arrived today, and commented when i got home that the electric seats are not only supremly comfortable in velour, but are also able to move far enough forwards for her to drive it
Fantastic!

you NEED to be quick to get them..
Are you after a finished car or a Project car?? Series One car (up to M reg) or Series 2 car??
Diesel specifically? Manual or auto specifically??

Velour seats are far more comfortable than leather.

Having looked at the pictures again, I think the O/s strut top definitely needs investigating.

Just looked myself.. my sed was like that and it was only the scuttle that was holding the sphere down and a thread of rubber!! id agree the drivers one looks rather urgent!!
look under the wing.. that's the tell tail area.. the cone is usually being pushed out downwards and should be clearly seen on this one.. don't leave it much longer!!!
