Default Latest Aquisition... LS Facelift...

So here we have a Vectra B Facelift on a T plate.

74,000 miles, 2.0 LS spec, erm... blue...

This car is immaculate. The pictures do not truely show how immaculate it is... but it is....
Previous owner is retired. This car has spent the last 6 years doing a twice weekly trip to Morrisons (6 mile round trip) and one run to Cornwall and back.

However it has suffered a blocked oil pipe, and them promptly towed a caravan to Cornwall!! It uses oil, judging by the smell, as an alternative to petrol, lacks the power usually associated with these engines.
Just as well i have a spare one sat in the yard in my old estate car







Cost me £250

depends, i like blue. Had several cavs in Kings blue and westminster blue.

Grey dash, yes... not the best, i have a black one in the Estate but can i be bothered to swap it... probably not.

Got a set of early SRI seats + Door cards.

This will be the daily potter car anyway, work, shopping etc. Doesn't need to be anything special, just have better fuel economy than the play thing.

lol, had a 2 CDX's not bad apart from having to take the CC unit out once a fortnight to put them right.

Match up paint isn't a problem, the cars boot got totalled last year going through the morrisons car wash, they paid for repairs and i got a tin of paint and a tin of spray free... and it's professional stuff (not halfords "well it looks blue")
