That's where we differ Steve, I like my cars to look a bit quirky and different. The C3 Picasso definitely ticks that box :D

Ideal would be a CX Prestige. Never going to happen.

It isn't the cost of purchase as much as maintenance/spare parts. Which is why the C5 went to the bean tin factory. Too many parts unavailable.

I'd argue parts availability for the CX was better than for the C5 X7...

Just 12 hours left and the current bid is just £3200, will it find a home among the FCF brethren?

Here's one that I didn't see coming, largely because I haven't had one! :-D

I don't recall Insights looking like that but probably only ever seen the 'Triumph Acclaim' version.

It looks odd to me, like a three-wheeler at first glance.

An older (W plate) Insight lives just round the corner from me. I see it most mornings... A daily driver too... They look good in red...

Common as muck those Red Insights this is also a W plate, and was sold at Mathewsons at the weekend for £4,100.

Here's the video while its still there for a nose around.

Nice bit of odd behaviour Jim, inspired by the pages of the FCF :-D Always a win for me!

Needs a new number plate :-D , but does very little kilometre-age since 2018 and sails through its MOT every year with a clean record apart from a windscreen washer not working in 2019.
