Default Bought it....

It's a TSpark Veloce 2 Sillyspeed.

No idea where it came from - but it's not Japan, I suspect Thailand or
Malaysia from the writing in the manuals....

Anyway, 9.7k miles, 1 owner from new, not yet 2 years old.

I'm buying my own warranty and giving it to my local guy for a cambelt
and oil change ASAP - but it won't be pressed into service until
November anyway.

Paid a deposit today, collecting Saturday.

Lovely car, couple of scuffs on the painted bumpers, but perfect
otherwise - black with tan Momo leather.

Some may say I paid too much, others are astounded by how cheap it was.

Suffice to say I bargained him down a fair bit and have bought it for £5400.

Heh.... there are a handful of late registered cars out there with low
mileages on them. None quite as low as mine, and none are Sportwagons.

Anyway, time for a pic. - sorry about the quality, it was taken with my
Cackberry yesterday morning.

I think I may need it.... as I'll be piling 40k miles / year onto it!

Sorry, not yet. Maybe in 18 months time when I can afford a Brera Qtronic.
