I bought this for £300 in June. Wink

Thats a snip Pete, looks good, big cars are really cheap at the moment. I will soon have my ar*e back in an Omega and the MPG won't matter, I start my new job on Nov 4th and get a company car. Only problem is I can't take it abroad,( holidays ) so I am going to have another Mig for summer use, restricted mileage insurance and probably SORN'ed for 6 months of the year so it won't be a monster to run. Keeping the Rover a couple of months until I find out what the job is really like then serious Mig hunting if the job is OK and the Rover TD sells.

I paid £330 for a N-Reg 3.0 Elite with 3months tax and 9mths test about a year ago.
Wasn't in as good a nick as Pete's, no Sat-nav etc. Only problems were the heater vacuums were in a fooking mess, MID was shot, (what pixels did remain kept flashing Oil Lack warning, when level was fine), and well, i've never seen a car with the oil so deep in the wells Shocked

From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.
