It's an 89 & I gave £80 for it & ran it for 2 years with very little expenditure I sold it for £400 on ebay when I started searching for a 75 earlier last year. Here's some more pictures

what sort of mileage had it done ?

2Diesels · 23rd January 2010, 20:02

About 125,000 if my memory serves me

it was just a 2 litre GL auto so was as flat as Frankensteins forehead but was a great old car. My mate took it as part ex for a Saab & rang me at work & I wasn't really bothered but I got home one night & it was on my drive & that's when I knew I'd bought it

It was a scruffy daily hack when I got it but I set to with the polish & hoover & fitted the GLT alloys & it used to get some great comments
