Passed around Feb 2004
1980 Leyland Clubman Saloon 1.0 Automatic
£550 from Ebay, delivered on a flatbed and never actually saw it prior to buying.
£1000'ish Insurance
The thing was a bit of a wreck but I loved it nonetheless. 50mph at a stretch! Cooling leak, speedo cable snapped, alternator went, tiny oil sump leak. Then the drivers floor rusted through. I did have one occasion of people shouting 'Mr. Bean, Mr. Bean!' at me.
Stuck it back on ebay and it went for £450 to some guys who apparently stripped it out and made it in to a grass track car. If I knew half as much about cars as I do nowadays I would never have gotten rid of it. C'est la vie!
