Hey come on guys, I'm already in a Fiesta. ideas ideas.....
How about an Alfa selespeed - can you get one for £1500?
I don't want a rep mobile.... i'll only be doing about 3,000 miles.

I love alfas but i woudn't touch a selespeed with a barge pole, They can be very unrealiable and any car that was £1500 will probably cost you that to fix it.
You can't get them for £1500 usually but a lexus/toyota soarer in an auto would be right up your street.... There is actually a J reg V8 32v auto in birmingham going for £1295 trade. Bridge Motor company they're called.

Of course I want 1500 quids worth of exotic shed. What's the point of sending the Fiesta back to the smoke to live as a spare car for MiL if I can't have something exotic.
Soarer eh? Interesting.....

Why not just spend 500 notes on a tidy Honda Accord auto - early to mid 1990s seem to be available easily enough and the odds are that all the toys will still be working.

Now I'm getting excited!!
Thought about a Honda Accord 4WS which I had a few years ago. Reliable and a great handling car.
Fiat Coupe - Hmm not auto, but i could cope with that body.

Why don't you give MiL the Fiesta or tell her to find her own car.
Problem solved.

Because he's a gent.

He is just too nice to her. The more you look after your inlaws, the more certain that they will leave it all to the cat's home, or the RSPB.
I know, it happened to me!>

A Mercedes E220cdi elegance? ;-)

I know you are talking temporary car, but in case you end up with a Fiat Coupe having had your interest tickled:
If you are nearish to High Wycombe, Bucks, to make it viable for you, there is a Fiat Coupe independent specialist with a stonking reputation that some people are prepared to travel the length and breadth of the country to use.
If you are ever interested, please ask and I will give my N reg Coupe owning friend a call. They've had theirs for years and years and not only love it but have had no trouble with it that I am aware of beyond normal wear and tear. Theirs won't be the one RF spotted because they have no intention of selling!

Thanks to Google, and knowing the approximate area where they are located, I just found 'em: www.l-m.co.uk/contactus.html (cut n paste)

Ta, but in Manchester
ANd thansk for calling me a gent. It is an option for MiL to take the Fiesta back, but only if she decides not to stay in her current profession of sort of chauffeur/executive taxi.
