Tin Top Sale advice...
It's not like you guys to hold-back with advice ( ), so would appreciate some feedback on the price I've set my tin-top at...
Bearing in mind all the variables, have I got this right... too high... too low?

Now see I'd have considered buying that, but unfortunately you never posted a picture of the engine...so I have to assume its a pigs den of
loose wires, rust and boy racer chav 'performance' parts

Looks a good price.
I'd certainly be tempted.
Thing is I do 30,000 miles pa, so over 3 years the car is at almost 100k and so far outside of warrantee that it's almost worthless. So why pay
more up front for a dealer supplied car / warrantee that you won't see the benefit from when you sell?

Nope... you just see a big plastic engine-cover (the rust and loose wires hide below that !).

Other than the ODO, what are the main differences between a UK and a RHD non-EU car?

In physical terms, just a squarer aperture for the rear number-plate.
Other than that, it's just the Odo and the language settings for the Sat Nav and Phone functions.

Come on Robert... I couldn't take £5 off you to take the car away!
Give me 50p and I'll happily free-up your space!
