They all leak, some like mine more than others, in this recent torrential rain, I have about an inch of standing water in both footwells each day, I really must drill some holes so it can drain away!

Glad you finally found one that you like and is in a good condition.

Have fun picking it up today, then start thinking about all the fun things you can buy and bolt on to it!

Can we see some more pictures when you pick it up please?

Enjoy your new toy!

nfu wanted £1900!!!! went with adrian flux - were't the cheapest but they would reinstate my 10yr ncb after one year if I went with them ( lost my ncb by having no insured car for 3 years )
