It can do sensible (put your granny in the back and she will be quite happy if you keep the revs down), or you can throw it around corners and get that lovely exhaust noise at higher revs. It will also cruise on motorways with very low noise levels with 5 people and luggage. Not if its lowered  Hello and

Quote: Would it be cheeky to ask the seller to book it for an MOT on the day I come down (I'd pay?) Not sure you can do that. I think you can only get an MOT within 1 month of the old one expiring.

Mine had one in December when I bought it, then one in February, only found the 1st MOT certificate in March under a pile of newspapers, didn't realise the garage had posted it.

This and other previous owners clubs (pures-mps??) have helped alot with working out which cars are worth looking at one has a fairly extensive history on pure-mps. Although a little unfair, you can see a cars history on the internet in ways that a log book and service stamps would never lend itself too will update tomorrow. God bless forums and the search function. (I think they will hate me for this  )

Walked from that one starting to get slightly concerned about the build quality on the 6 though the strut braces are rusting away on all I've seen and the general condition of the supporting chassis work, control arms etc in the engine bay is pretty poor rust evident in all I've seen. In comparison to some CTR's I saw today that were alot older..... they still looked brand new in comparison !
