I love me 55SX. Well, love might be a bit strong. bought it cos it was cheap to insure. i've had typical age things, sump rusted thru, camshaft cover seal, and the front discs are on the way out...

I recently bought a 55S with no mot, I bought it cheap to sell on. It was a 1996 car with patchy history and 86k on the clock. I booked it in for the brake pipe recall and they did both front and back no questions asked. It passed the mot after a quick service and I doubled my money. It was a good wee car. If you look after them they'll look after you.
