This one is only on 53k but feels very tired inside and arrived with perished tyres. I was hoping it was the 16v version but it's the 8v (5 speed box) so a bit anemic at speed. Incredibly less power and torque than my motorbike. Nippy off the line though and the box is pretty enjoyable.
Jobs done:
Replaced battery sucking OEM CD player with modern BT head and fascia/etc.
Replaced detached gearknob with halfords maxpower special!
To do:
A good clean inside and out
Try and recondition headlights (or replace for minimal £)
Possibly pimp it in a stupid way to embarrass Mrs Hammer, without ruining the ride.
@jonny I'm going to have to play with the seat and try raising it up to get closer to the wheel and further from the pedals. It has a lumbar support which should help but my back feels worse this evening than it did this morning!
