What is there to strip out!? The radio and passenger seat?

Kicking the windows out and put a h frame in were the steps Sic missed

My late wife had a 107 in automatic flavour. Fun little thing to bomb around in. Surprisingly roomy. Thrummy three cylinder motor. Very small boot. I seem to remember, it was a while ago now, replacing front tyres more regularly than I expected. Not too uncomfortable on a longish journey either. I liked it.

I'm going to see it this morning for a test drive.

These are a platform share with Toyota and Citroen aren't they? Aygo and C1 are the others.

They always look like they've got a folded wheelchair in the boot to me, it's the curved stripe a lot of them have on the seat fabric that looks like the top of a wheel from behind.

Yes the c1 and aygo are identical other than the badge.

Aygo has slightly different bodywork but Citroen and Pug are the same. Two irritations that I remember. Ours was a two door, when tilting the seat to let passengers into the back it didn’t go back to the original position. Had to re adjust every time. Also the interior light didn’t come on when the passenger door opened. Not too serious really.

C1 was a much Spartan spec iirc. Aygo usually came with a lot more and also usually attract a premium price second hand.

I've bought it. He's going to mot it and valet it then give me a shout. It drove perfect on the test drive four up. I was surprised it pulled so well considering. It's lovely and clean with no real dents or marks.
I didn't even haggle the price although he did knock a couple of hundred off for me.

I also blagged a go of my first modern. A top of the range jeep. Nine speed auto diesel. Loads of tech, lane departure etc although he admits he turns it all off when driving. Gives you a fright when it takes over aparently.
Lovely to drive though and very car like. The last 4x4 I drove was also his which was a top spec 2012 vauxhall antara. That drove like a tractor in comparison and was shit on diesel.
