COMMENTS:

Classic
style and lots of car for the money if you choose
carefully and buy from a specialist. Big bills all
round so buy only the best with history. Almost
a cheap and cheerful option these days, loved by
flash geezers. Only look at leather and automatic
options to avoid resale problems. |
