I just couldn't do it!
Ok last year I bought the S40 and said the 480 would have to go to pay for it, wellllllllll, when it actually came to putting up an ad I just couldn't do it! So I parked her on the drive and apart from the occasional start (stood idle for 6 month) she hasn't moved more than a few feet to stop the brakes seizing up.
But that’s all changed, today I took the Celeb for her MOT and she passed first time with flying colours, the mechanic commented on the good condition for a car of its age and the fact it had been off the road for over a year. Just waiting for the insurance certificate to turn up and I’ll be able to tax it then I’ll have a new commuting car.
Spent nearly 4 hours cleaning and polishing her this morning before the MOT and she looks better now than she has in a long long time.
