Sounds like that thing in Fools and Horses where Trigger says he's had the same broom from new, it's just had 15 new heads and 10 new handles!

Na i don think its that cheap, 20odd year old sierra cosworth!!

Really dont see why the 3 door demands that much more money than the saff`s in simaler nick!! ps ive had them both!

Hate middle of the road 3 doors for this reason!! a 6k 2wd saff would be so much better !
