OK I have a Chim 500 that the wife has taken a liking to. It was originally specified for a woman so the colour and interior is a bit girly.

Now as a family agreement I can transfer the Chim to her and get a Tuscan for myself. Problem is that I would rather not spend more than £13,500. Is this realistic for a 'second car' (actually fourth in including daily drives but who is counting)that is basically sound, had the obligatory engine rebuild and will not attract big bills in the short term?

I would have thought you could get one for that, though 15,000 would offer more choice. If you wait a month or so then seasonal dip may help. Good luck with the search.

How very odd is this, my Chim sold about 6 weeks ago and a Tuscan in my Garage now.
Give me a call I did a lot of research.

Your Wife ! has the number

David,

I just noticed whilst searching the forum that you are now a Tuscan man! Great minds think alike (or fools seldom differ). I can't sell the Chim though, I have to hand the keys over to her indoors. At least she has agreed to let the Rover Cabriolet go if she can have the Chim, result.
