  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Get alarm/immobiliser fitted. Criminals don't target these.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Main agents are not interested in older cars. Use an independant for better service and prices. Spares not expensive if you avoid Franchised dealers.
