Headrest covers in red, must be very rare by now ... I think I have a set in that colour, but in a later style without the four "buttons" in the middle.

"icsi" has the "early type" in his GLS too:

hmmm that'd be a bummer if it's an auto. Will have to give the number a ring and enquire as I do like the look of it. Not sure if it'd be right of me buying it and then lowering it and possibly different wheels :? (No welded diffs on this one mind ;) )

Why not buy the white one that has 12mths MOT ;) If it is a manual the red one will only be a 4spd but it's not too hard to change boxes... seem to remember you've done this before anyway!

Hmmm, a bit difficult to see if it has any bumper vents ...

This is only 30 miles up the road from mine - and it's the kind of thing I've been keeping half an eye on for sometime (earlier car - colouful interior etc!)

Dropped him a line, interested to see if it's a Vario or 4spd...also what the rot's like. Valance looks like it's getting a bit grotty, but it's hardly the best picture.

If anyone else hears anything about the car from the seller, please let me know.
