Bangernomics/retro bargain! - badbusdriver

Browsing Autotrader this morning and came upon this 29 year old Mazda 626 for £445!. No mention in the ad of MOT so i'm thinking it either hasn't got one or is very short. No, went on the Gov. website and it is MOT'd till next July!. Seems to good to be true, if i lived closer, i'd go and have a look with a view to buying it!,

BTW, there is an extensive list of advisories, but still, at that price, if you have a garage and welding equipment.......!

Ah memories. I flogged loads of these in the 90’s, we seemed to get them in regularly against Galants and Carisma’s. No bother with any of them but I didn’t really like the auto choke which sent revs souring until the thing would heat up.
