Uh oh, I got drunk and found eBay again!

So, I still have the tatty 330d - getting towards 300,000 miles and still absolutely fine. What a bargain it turned out to be - £650 to buy, a few hundred on a prop bearing, gearbox service - and sailed through the last MOT.

Thus, I felt this was a good time to scratch the 'convertible itch' I've had for a while!
Behold....



Another 330d, this time manual (6 speed) and with plenty of boxes ticked.
Well priced because it's previously been written off (but repaired well with full engineer's report) and still relatively low miles @ 129,000.
Bought for a stag do roadtrip this summer (not mine!) and I'll probably keep it for a couple of years.

Stock stereo is awful (the saloon has HK with 16:9 display, this has the crap Business CD system) and there's a slight vibration on harsh acceleration (suspect guibo or prop bearing) but apart from that, a genuinely enjoyable car for pocket change.

I have bought some amusing hairdresser stickers already

Just to put a close on this thread - I sold her off after a ZT260 came up (always fancied one) - she clearly didn't like the new owner, as shortly after purchase the turbo ended up letting go.

A shame as she was always totally reliable in my ownership - but back on the road now I understand, and behaving again. Whoops!
