I read or was told somewhere it'll take about a month. It's all legit on the road so it isn't eating any grass.
I will have to take it for a run. It hasn't moved since before Christmas.

I'd have though you being an owner would have devalued it? The smell of old peoples piss is a bastard to shift from the drivers seat.

This one has 20k more miles but without the cat marker. Bargain for me that.

Exactly why I bought it. The mental thing is when it was a year old a straight one a year old cost about what that does now. You could buy them brand new back then for about 14.

I was at the citroen garage when The engine first blew on mine. They were £20k plus vat and I couldn't have one for six months at the earliest and if I was lucky.
In 2006 I bought a brand new one for £11k plus vat. It was pre registered though.

Can't remember if I mentioned but I went to the garage to see the 300c the other day.
He has it all running and all the lights out except for the abs one. He reckons there's a good chance it's the abs pump. What sort of price do they go for?
What ever I'm not too fussed, I keep trying to pay but fil won't give me his bank details. I reckon all fixed serviced and mot'd it should still come in well under a grand.

Someone in the past has put all the badges on including a bentley grille. It has wind deflectors and the back windows are all tinted. I'll probably get pulled for being a drug dealer.
I can't wait to smoke around in it. I wonder if it's quick.

I think you can get them overhauled.
