My Mrs had one back in the late 80's it was grey iirc and I loved shoving it about but she hated it, said the steering was too heavy ::) (this was in the days before 3 Weetabix!) ;D

Great little motor.

Couldn't help thinking that from picture 4, it looks like you feel so passionate about the car you want to keep it in the house, hence trying to get it in through the front door.  ;)

Thanks all. Mr. Moffat this is by no means my first classic although the Toledo would be a good starter for somone new to the game. Loving the Gaffer avatar in his P6 with a rear seat full of parking tickets. RIP Bill Maynard...a legend. Where in Lincs. are you?

  I'll have to check that B. I know the bottom half has been painted as the paint match aint too clever & there's some bubbling around the headlights plus a little crazing here & there but she is straight, so easy to drive & bags of character.

  Started first time this morning in the frost & demisted like a modern car!!!  Guess you only get so much for £700!!!
