2 seater soft-roader coupe thing, it might have been a X90 as you say.

All I really remember is a work colleague had one and wasn't impressed getting stopped by the plod on his way home from a nightshift, as they'd spotted the cardboard numberplates saying 'Barbie's 4x4' that he'd missed when he walked to the car park.

Bomb-proof reliability. One of my first jobs was in Suzuki warranty of a Lancia dealer which took on Suzuki post-unpleasantness

Remember this well I bought it and my customer who wanted it came along and looked over saying how it was lovely and just what she wants. Roll on a day and I get a text saying that as it's a 3 door it's no good for her. Well she is no longer a customer and now I need to rehome it. I have advertised it on ebay but if any wobber wants it it owes me £820 including new number plates that I am waiting for.

That’s ace! Shame it didn’t work out with your buyer though.

I’m assuming it’d be a fair few quid for delivery to GL3 ?

I am having my thunderbird delivered to Ledbury tomorrow for about 180 quid. This would go on his smaller truck so would be less than that. I can get a quote if you want. One shiply bloke quoted 130 to transport the thunderbird so it can be done cheaper. It does drive really well and if the lockdown wasn't happening I wouldn't have a problem driving it anywhere. I might be able to get it to a rail station but that would be a bit of a nightmare as I would have to cycle back home again and I am very very far from a fit cyclist.

Thinking about it there is a chance my delivery guy might be able to put it on a trailer behind his truck as he is going past you friday morning to deliver the turd.

Yeah I’d normally be up for just coming to get it if it wasn’t for the lockdown - don’t fancy trying to explain to BTP how picking up an old Toyota is essential.

If your chap could double up on deliveries and make it a bit cheaper that might work....

OK he can't do it at the same time as the thunderbird as he cant get hold of a trailer in time, but £135 for him to do it another time
