Hey guys ^^ new member might of seen me asking a few questions lately ^^ everyone seems to be very knowledgeable and friendly so figured i would stick around :D , rare to find such a great community

Bit of info on the car

1.8 stock 1993 190e manual for 750quid
15" standard alloys
original tape player (lol)
overall in very good condition, full service history
and... some stains on the grey cloth interior

not bad for a first car at 20 ^^ done my test the year before and flew out to work in Germany the very next day after lol, came back a year later and got this as it was cheaper to insure than my other cars i had in mind .. BMW e30, 306 or Punto lol
