That monstrosity has featured in this forum before!

I think that it may be a cunning plan to deter thieves, after all, would you want to be seen out in that? It would also be easy to recognise many parts if they showed up on ebay.

You really want to avoid the seller. I bought a TD5 from them and in went bang very dramatically on the motorway within 5 miles of collecting it. Rear axle locked up at 65+ when the transfer box failed.

Luckily they gave me my money back.

Very lucky escape

It's unfortunate about the transfer box but why avoid the seller if they gave you your money back? Surely, that's what you'd expect from a reputable company? Darren

The whole experience was bad including the promises they made about the vehicle and it's pre sales checks that weren't done. Also the conversation when I was recovered by they're mechanic into the way the operate was an eye opener but not for open forum.

Hahaha, I saw that a while ago when I was looking at a 110 DC they had. Almost made me barf.

Sadly my political correctness prevents me from identifying the typical target market for a vehicle of that erm, questionable style. Wink 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful

The saddest thing is that the colour isn't even the worst feature:
