 Hi guys, 

The 500 has done his time with me and have to go to a new owner, have loved it for the last 7 years and something years but time to move on .... The 230 and the 230 cab are staying in the family tough.

Please get in touch if any interested and do not be put off of the left hand drive !!!!

Cheers

 

Fred

Re: Time to part with my pride and joy

Hi Fred, the advert is a bit confusing, is it a 3 litre 6 or a 5 litre V8

I'd be surprised if that doesn't sell quickly. If it were a SWB RHD I'd be on the first train to the second city of Scotland smiley

Re: Time to part with my pride and joy

i thought i was going to see a blue 230 then, had me worried! 

sad to see the 500 going, but needs must I presume. 

Hopefully it goes to someone decent. 

Hope you are well

Re: Time to part with my pride and joy

I still love that 230 to bits too, glad its still doing well. 

 

Sadly no G on the drive way, in fact I am on the dark side, did 40,000 miles last year so no G is really economical on that (the RRS was only just feasible and that was on safety grounds), not commuting as much this year but after August I dont know where I will be which makes buying anything to silly out of the question. 

How is the 230 looking now days?
