THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 400 MK1 VEEs! THEY ARE ALREADY INDIVIDUAL ENOUGH. THEY DO NOT NEED CHAVVING UP TO STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD!
LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!
Also, considering you can pick up a genune mk1 51 plate V6 with one or two careful owners (not ex-cruise-boyz), in original spec, and no insurance write off history for £13k, Id go so far as to say that this fcukd up example is about £2.5k overpriced!
but as the price drop its enevitable that people with less money and less taste will wreck these cars completley with huge chrome rims and eight exhausts.
at least they wont be able to get their mates in the back and wont be able to keep it for long die to grp20 insurance and 27mpg (not that they will ever lift their foot from the floor so 12mpg)
the great thing is i cant wait for them to ride about thinkin its the fastest thing and thn passs them in my mildly tweaked 182.
Yes there is a surprisingly useful amount of space under the bonnet, also a shelf behind the seats. The boot (shown above) gets very hot, so you have to be careful what you put in there - no good for food shopping or anything melt-able!
No problems with practicality with a V6 as I proved on my (well publicised at the time) trip to IKEA. Ironically I went back there on Friday but didnt take pictures. However from the first trip ...
I had an air conditioner on the passenger seat back from B&Q last week in its box! Made looking left at junctions a bit tricky!
Have also transported two front tyres wedged nicely on the engine cover, though I doubt it would take 2 rears due to the extra width!
Oh and me and the missus did a trip to Swindon a few weeks ago - got a full weeks shopping on the shelf behind the seats, and filled the boot, bonnet & passenger footwell with guff bought from the MacArthur Glenn outlet centre. Can hold a surprisingly large load considering, providing your passenger doesnt mind having no legroom!
I agree, but its not always an option! Anyways, it was a much better blast across the Hampshire/Wiltshire x-country roads in the vee than it would have been in a tranny van!
