Searching through eBay - 24 June 2006

I expect I'd seen the advert a few days before the 24th, but the first record I have is the response to the question I asked on that day.

The advert's here:

- and the response from Ian pointed out very truthfully that some welding would be needed to put the Volvo through its MoT test.

I was in the market for a classic to replace the soulless '90s Rover which replaced the soulless '02 Peugeot. The list had been narrowed to a Volvo Amazon (preferably a 123GT) or a BMW 2000CS, and with the BMW being harder to come by than a peerage, an Amazon was looking likely.

On the Sunday we headed up to Thatcham to kick the tyres. Kilo Golf Alpha looked well looked after and sturdy, and the holes where there should have been metal didn't look too large. My bid duly went in and I won the car for a fair price on the 25th, after some tense final seconds.
