Very nice Campbell. Great looking cars the 306 cab. I would say that would be a bit more practical than the Punto too.

it's a two litre. I'd have preferred the 1.8 but SWMBO doesn't do many miles so the fuel difference will be a hundred quid or so a year between the economy of the 1.8 and the consumption of this.

Thumbs up for me too! 306 in car tin top form ARE brill cars them self. 306 Cabs VERY desireable, or they were!
With that milage and price its a bit of steal..

You're a crewing a great set of cars there Campbell. Manual 2.1 XM's..great fun

Smart roadster and 306 cab, not to mention the Messerschmidt. Excellent.
If you still get leaks...shower cap I'm afraid!

Am half thinking of selling an XM just now - but looking forward to a 306.

... Which one though...
The 306 will be great...one of the only cars to look quite good in yellow.
It's a 306 they were all pretty good at handling ect weren't they?
Saw a lovely white G reg immaculate 205 GTI in Nailsworth today. Ooo and a E reg BX in Chelthenham this afternoon. Just saying!

The 306s all handle well - and my smart looks fantastic in yellow - I got the second last brand new yellow roadster for sale in the UK at the time.
Messerschmitts look great in yellow too.
Would be the hatchback that went - just toying with the idea!

That it does. Like the black contrast with the yellow. FIAT Barchetta can get away with yellow...
Ooo dear so the white one might be moving on...
