This Lancia Trevi VX (supercharged) has been languishing in a local car yard for at least as long as i've lived in France. When i first came here I tried to buy it, but was scuppered by not being able to speak french! Thus I could not barter down the exorbitant 1600 euro price. I have driven past it every morning since, meaning to go and try again to buy it but the other morning I noticed it had gone!!!11!! When i went to investigate I found it again in a nearby carpark looking very sorry for itself, as pictured: I went to ask what the crack was and it has been sold for export!!! I can't imagine these things are terribly sought after on the dirt tracks of Sudan or wherever they go but there you are. I left my number and an offer of €150 in case the exporter finds something more worthy to go in his shipping container but am not optimistic. Hey-ho!! it was a one-owner 40,000 mile job too. Couple of other old heaps spotted this weekend. L8RZ

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

I got a great new sticker for it a few weeks ago: "I've been to CREWE AND NANTWICH PHYSIOTHERAPY CENTRE", seem to have lost it annoyingly, that woulda looked the plums. No doubt it'll turn up sooner or later.
