For the bargain banger I am actually moving towards a stilo jtd estate. Given out house is being ripped apart ATM and I am going to be loosing my van and estate makes sense. I'm very fond of the jtd 8v no no one wants stilos. Anyone had an estate?
Discounting alfas on rust and not keen on the 16v engine. Ours burst it's oil cooler over Mayzon's parents drive. Not good..

JTD on the 147 comes as an 8v too New one on me with rust - I doubt it would be any better or worse than the others you list.... I think I just grouped it with the 156 with horrors of rusty floorpans and gt's. Fabian maybe a possibility, will check them out. I have seen a few Vauxhall signum diesels for decent money also so might be on the list.

There's a bloke who works mornings at our local Morrisons uses one of those as his daily drive. Must be reliable, it's there most days.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Must be reliable, it's there most days. Maybe it won't go home? I got burned up by one of those, years ago: I was driving a Datsun 240Z with a brand new clutch and as I started to move the clutch delaminated in a big way; there were a dozen bits fell out when I took the box off later. Embarrassing, particularly as if that car always looks as if its sniggering.

The suspense is killing me. I started a drum roll four hours ago.
It's a 2cv6 , isn't it????! Arms tired yet? Yes. Despite my previous jobs as wavy arms racecourse side bookie and duracell drummer bunny, I've to stop. It's going to be a Stilo....

Sorry guys been a very long weekend. Three vehicles picked this weekend. Our Mazda bongo from Plymouth on Sat, now parked at mine. This morning another early start collecting my brothers new Audi A7 3.0 Quattro s line in the center of London..awesome car.. Then to pick up the bargain banger from Warwick on route home Huw is correct! Fiat stilo 1.9 jtd multi wagon. Got it cheap. Nobody wants them but seems fit for purpose so far. Heres the link if people are interested. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272447913952 Even came with quarter of a tank left. You guys above have made me chuckle. The car is not without its little faults but have some time before the new job.

Hooray. Nice one. My mate runs a yellow Sporting jtd for his missus and loves it to tool around in. Are you and Joe going to start up FSCUK now? It looks tidy, nice colour too
