This must be a tempting proposition for John?
Looks superb.

It certainly looks like a very genuine low mileage car Colin, in argueably the best colour!
Althought I have never been a great fan of the early model, being a 2.5 V6 in CDX trim, it is certainly a lot of car for the money ( depending what it gets of course!).
Personally, I would go for the later 3.2 Elite with all the toys - they are now getting a rare beastie! Over the years my job has given me the opportunity to drive all makes / models of cars, but (dispite all the raised eyebrows this may cause!) the V6 top of the range Vauxhall Omegas are one of the best cars I have ever owned and driven.....apart from the Triumphs of course!
Three Lancashire Group members can't all be wrong with their choice of car ( the Omega) for everyday transport .....!!!
Anyway, back to Triumphs.....!!

I nearly bought an MV6 estate once. Came close, bought Cosworth Scorpio instead. Now that was a car and a half!

Yes, I drove one many years ago Alan - very fast in a straight line; somewhat lacking in looks, but that's down to personal taste of course.....!

I had the nice looking one, before the boggle eyed thingy. Went like the proverbial off a whatsit!

I think the 'boss' would have my guts if I got another at this present time!!
Although the colour sat nav is a rarity and is worth several hundred quid on its own (as opposed to the standard monochrome display)..... no, deaf and dumb meals for a month - better not..!!

£970 for the Bolton 3.2 Elite - if it was as good as the listing implied, then a lot of car for the money......
