Yeh, just looking at land rovers now, can get a half decent one for a canny price! I am on a budget because i still want to keep the corsa so just a few grand, nothing like 10k

800 quid, seems like cracking value. Does it have tax and MOT Ben?

yep taxed till april, and Mot till end of may.

TBH the only body faults is a small dent on the front offside of bonnett just above the light (can just see in that above picture)

and a scratch on the near side wing caused by a kid on a bike falling on the car a few months back. but both are superficial.

Great for commuting in, soft enough not to feel the bumps and hard enough to drive in to stuff. Ace.
