OK it's really not. But it is a three-seater coupe. So... who's got four and a half grand, and space in their barn?

As good luck would have it, I have £4,800 I didn't have a week ago... I have an eBay account... the wife is at work.

She'd kill me though. To death.

That looks awesome, I like it a lot.

I am very tempted by one of these... perhaps next year when I'm over scratching my Stag itch!

I can't... I can't. She's been at me to sell the Escort recently, this would be a bad idea indeed. You'd look "bad idea" up in a dictionary and see a pic of me on eBay.

If you have one, and only one, child, you could easily spin this as having "very efficient seating".

Funny, as I've always fancied being DIFFERANT that advert really speaks to me.

I'm afraid anyone who thinks one of these might be considered a practical three-seater might be in for a shock. It's more of a 2+1-who-doesn't-mind-having-their-knee-mistaken-for-the-gearlever-from-time-to-time. It also has no headroom.

Saw one of these for sale a while back, the vendor had swapped the engine for a 1.9 GTI lump. I was tempted but it was beige and appeared to have been upholstered with Kermit the frog.

If I had the space and money I'd buy a lancia montecarlo rather than this.
