My mates dad had a beautiful looking Lancia Beta Coupe, in black, just like this
had from brand new, it literally dissolved into a pile of rust

I've bought it! I went in today and the seller sorted my swap over insurance ( £213 with £250 excess) and 'car tax'(£30 a year and due about £95 back from my Mini's tax) out for me. I've been out driving in it, but no way was I opening the roof in the weather we had today.The suspense is too much.
Have you bought the #@$€in' thing yet, or not? Are you out and about, posing in your tweeds with the roof down on the back lanes of sunny Lancashire..... Or have you backed out because it had a dust cap missing, and we can look forward to another 18 pages in the latest instalment of the "will he/won't he" accy saga?
It was quite emotional saying goodbye to my car of the last 2.5 years
, but I'm sure its new owner will look after it well!! I'm going to post some pics of my 'new' car later tonight.

Just remembered, I could've come away with a different car! When I got there I saw this for sale.

It's the Lounge version like mine, but has a glass 'panoramic view' roof. It's also in brilliant white which I don't think is as nice as the 'pearlescent white' one I've bought.

When driving home in the car yesterday someone headlight flashed me quite vigorously. I thought it was one of those 'slow down there's a speed/reg recognition van down the road'!!! moments, but I was only doing around 25 in a 30 mph zone and I soon found there wasn't such a vehicle down the road. I then wondered if they recognised my car and it was a friendly flash. There are quite a few white Fiat 500s on the road, so how would they recognise a certain one?🤔 I got 'hi there' flashed quite often in my yellow with a yellow and black chequered roof Mini, as it was the only one I saw of that colour scheme in the 2.5 years I owned it.

While I had the wipers on yesterday, now that you mention it they did feel juddery. It was too wet and miserable to try and see what make the wipers are. I'll have a look later today.
