Washing it every weekend for four years basically. Dirt didn't even have time to attach itself . Shame to see it go, but I have a new toy now and one has to go

Well, its group 9 insurance so depending on the insurer, you might be ok. Its been well looked after (by me) since it was 2, with one lady owner before (who worked for Rover, apparently). Its quick but I didn't tend to thrash it (I'm 33 so I've slowed down a bit) and its never been on a track. Still starts as soon as you turn the key, never missed a beat .
