Yeah didn’t some cars of this vintage have indicators that didn’t self cancel?
Citroen did as a specific design feature until the CX I read recently.

Didnt think I'd see one of these again, 2004 Rover 25 Streetwise 1.4. 49k miles, great condition, £1495

That dealer usually has at least 1 interesting car on his forecourt.
I'm quite tempted by this for one of my lads, something a little quirky which should be cheap to insure etc. Only 50k miles.

Does it have the infamous K series engine that needs a head gasket every week?

The 1.4 is OK as far as HGF is concerned; anything larger is where the problems usually start and are best avoided

Easy and cheap fix though these days. It wouldn't put me off, I'd just budget for the upgrades to be made.

For £1400, buy them a Fiesta or Ibiza. As quirky a Streetwise is, it isn't the car for a 17 year old. A 1.9 TDI Ibiza will be cheaper to run too, SDI even cheaper.

Quirky but is it cool enough for a 17 y.o ?

Maybe not cheaper for insurance though, just ran a couple of quotes and the Streetwise was about £200 cheaper than an SDI Ibiza. Not many 17yos crash Streetwises these days I suppose...

Late model Calibra with the 2.5 V6. Shame alloys are non standard, but it's a grand.

I’ve seen most of one, given that my Probe is essentially a 626 coupe with some design by Ford. Good find but definitely a bit pricey.

I love that Carlton. They have always looked 'right' to me, the saloon and estate. Only thing that would put me off is the auto box.
