Why would you not want a Petrol?

We've seen the 2.0 petrol on here do much more miles that that, and given the engine is comparatively simple compared to a Diesel it'd be fine for a low-mile driver.

As long as it's had plenty of fresh oil through it then there will be no bore-wear or valve train wear like the old days.

Clutch, cambelt, drivers window mechanism (coupés need the window to drop a little in order to open and close the door!)

Not good value, especially considering the low interior spec, and wtf's going on with that gearstick? :shock:

My guess (and this is entirely a guess) is that they probably needed those lights to enter another market (some country with odd lighting requirements perhaps?) and the technology available at the time meant that they couldn't physically fit the needed specification lights into the existing hole

the coupes quite cheap but 162k seems a bit high for a petrol.

They'll look interestingly different if you manage to fit them ok.
