That almost fits the bill but has electric windows (I’m trying to convince him that they won’t break and the engine has far more electronics in it, but he’s a bit set in his ways)Quote:

**** i would let him find his own car if he isn't open to things like cars having elec windows etc....
His wish list is about the same as mine, though given the money and space required I would love a 110 with a 300 tdi. Fully reconditioned , and sound proofed , that would be enough for me. I don't use much of the electronic stuff in the new car .
Why does his wish list make him any less worthy of my help just because he doesn’t want the same things?Quote:

I use the term affectionately - he may be set in his ways but he’s a nice old guy. [emoji4]Quote:

i have no other options , except a Triton , will be a basic shirt box , it will be fine if he likes simple , there will be no comforts or extras . It will have powered newfangled winda’s .
i know , as I have one .
Would find it difficult to reccomend to someone I care about ......
An enemy - no probs !
