If it's from Malta then it would be: they drive on the correct side of the road there, just like in the UK.

I'll sell you my 1997 BMW 728i SE..... Which runs on LPG and gets you 280 miles on £32.00 probably could be better as I have a bit of a heavy foot. FSH maintained regardless of cost which has been low. I did 21K in this over 11 months last year without a peep. It has had new pads/disks all round recently and serviced 3 weeks ago total mileage 82K from new and I'm the second owner.... Make me an offer.

[Ardesco]

I am getting a Diesel Focus 1.8 ghia with cruise control for a mere £12K new, bang on your budget......

PM me if interested and I will pass on the dealer details. They are normally £16K..... it is an import from Malta!!

Bad news

The last car I owned was in the 80's and since then I've been driving the cars of companies or SWMBO. In the process of looking at cars at the moment, and whilst I would love to go down the bangernomics route, the family situation rules that one out.

So, loathe as I am to say it, Vectra, Mondeo, Focus, all of these come out very well in terms of cost / running cost / maintennence. Slightly out of this bracket is the Mazda 6, which gives you a lot more for the cash IMHO.
