That is stunning and a bargain at that price. I hope it goes to a good home. E36 chassis front end and E30 back end on those first-gen Compacts.


Meanwhile here's a pretty 1999 Starlet mis-listed as a Yaris. 41k miles, 1.3L, £1750

Correctly identifying an airbag as useful equipment, too
Specifying the mileage of a vehicle should be made mandatory on all adverts on all selling sites. It's absence is singularly the most annoying thing when looking for a car.

Doesn't take long if you can see the reg:

On the 28/07 it was 85,834 miles

I get that you can get it from previous MOTs - but why should I have to go to another site to find out <quite important> information about a car someone is selling.

If it were mandatory then we'd all be happy and the seller won't come across like a misleading shyster.

You didn't get that from any other part of the ad?!

Ha - good point actually and to further evidence my opinion, the mileage isn't even listed on their own website. https://www.stewartpricecars.co.uk/used-cars/vauxh...

I think "P.O.A." is the single most annoying thing, still, saves me having to read the rest of the advert.

Ooh I like that. Never owned one but always wanted one.

As we may have started a brief Fiat trend, would it be wrong to save this? Stilo 2.4 Schumacher GP edition, needs a bit at £1100, but I suspect it will need a bit when it's tidied!

These days I find hidden registration numbers the most annoying as you can't check MOT or RFL details without them.

The Norn Iron plate means you can add at least a 1 to the front end of that mileage figure.
