It certainly looks like it has been very well looked after.

Didn't quite agree with some of the advert though:

THE CAR HAS A FANTASTIC SPECIFICATION TO DETAILED TO LIST HERE.

Yeah right.

Yes I agree plenty of "dealer speak" in there

Such as keep fit windows, wind up air con and Crimpolene seats you mean

Apart from that, it looks a bit like "Big Ron"

Until I open the bonnet Bri - can't see the point of polishing diesel engine bays. The one in the ad is gleaming.

If it had chrome mirrors, door handle inserts, torpedo badges and chrome GB letters at the rear it would be a ringer for Big Ron from the outside.

Couldn't be more different once you get in though - distinct lack of toys.

Still less to go wrong in the long term.

Correct - I part exd. it to Kendal Honda a couple of weeks back. They've obviously traded it out to Fylde Motors in Lytham St Annes.
To be fair, it is VERY clean under the bonnet, and has been since I bought it in March 2011. It has always started first time, runs like a dream (Brian's 130 ish. X map) and had a new clutch fitted by Andi Willi in March 2015.
"Immaculate" is a little OTT - there are a lot of stone chips on the leading edge of the bonnet, and a slight ding in the n/s/f door, where someone reversed out of a parking slot straight into me - oh, and the aircon needs at least a service!. As Brian has said, it is poverty spec. too - simple aircon, windy up rear windows, cloth seats etc.
My description would be "a good, honest workhorse"

Couple of "factually incorrect" bits in the ad. too - the MOT expires 3rd April, not 05/2016 and it doesn't have xenon headlights either

The car is a real credit to you Rod.
