Thanks for the comments, the colour wasn't my first choice, when i first started looking i really wanted a grey one but i looked at quite a few at various places around the country but in the end i got sick of travelling miles and finding that the "excellent condition" was in reality a heap of junk. found this one on ebay within my local area at went to see it. wasn't struck on the colour at first but after a bit of haggling i got the car at a good price T & T.
Now that i have chance to give it a good clean and polish it all up i am really happy with it. i have had the car mats for years got them for my birthday some 11 odd years ago and they still look good. Gotta love Taz
