This car has brought me so much joy but having to sell due to moving house to London. Great fun to drive and drives superbly. There are no problems with starting, even in cold weather. Drives easily on the motorway with no issues.

Such a fun car to drive in Summer with the roof down but equally practical for much more than this a Summer run around.
