white van man 3,543 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Had this old series 2 for years. Was handy for getting up onto the tops but mainly for shooting or daytime work. Paid £450 for it many years ago. Had a Ford Focus estate for years and it was a decent car for getting about the country with the dogs. Finally give in at 240 odd thousand miles. 6 Quote Link to post
