Right, the news is that my friend and colleague Richard has just bought a Shitroen Picasso, so if his Tubby Exec isn't sold within a week or so he'll be trading it in. It's a P reg, 2.0l Petrol Turbo Executive saloon, China blue with black leather interior, 136000 miles, FSH, long MOT until Feb '09 and a couple of months tax. It's been impecably maintained and has recently had new brake pads all 'round and new discs on the front, and new exhaust middle and back sections. It's also had new suspension ball joints for the recent MOT.
Being an "Executive" it boasts all the usual refinements including leather interior, full electric pack and 6CD changer. Rich's wife loves the car so much that she won't let him use it for work, he's relegated to the Daewoo

. As a result I haven't seen it myself for ages, but he assures me that the bodywork is still "perfect".
The car is in Bridgend, South Wales and needs to go within the week or it gets traded in

. So he's now open to offers in the region of £600 ono, much more realistic than the grand he was looking for just last week

, and considering the recent work it's had done I think it's a bit of a steal. If anyone wants Richard's phone number just let me know. Go on, make him a cheeky offer, you never know!
