Hi,

Can you tell me performance for the aircondition in the car Read more

You're not clear with your question. Do you mean how it affects engine performance as answered above by RaineMan? or do you mean how effective the aircon is?

If you're buying a car over ten years old (certainly in the U.K.) then functioning air conditioning is a bonus rather than a requirement. 95% of the motors I buy in over 10yrs old do not have functioning aircon largely because people don't maintain it properly.

Owners don't use it all winter then expect it to work when summer comes round. If you don't use it regularly then the seals dry out and the system leaks.

The costs of repairing it on an older car with almost zero value like an old 405 is unviable and the likelihood of finding one with a working system in the U.K. is almost zero.

It's the least of your worries on an old modern classic like the 405 which was a brilliant car in its day but will be a Labour of love today.

I'm pleased to report you genuinely have no idea how popular they are and how many remain.

There are very few of the original S coupe's left Edward I've got one of the two SE TURBO models left there are around 5 SE injections left and the numbers are rapidly diving for mvi (less than 15 and mvti (less than 5). It really is a forgotten classic and everyone now thinks the RD was the first Hyundai coupe.

Well, well !

It certainly DOES NOT keep to the original Mini's concept of being cheap to buy -- a car suitable for just about anyone of medium stature or a first car for the youngster who has just passed their driving test and needs a car that is relatively cheap to insure !

This car will not be for the average Joe at a price like that and it could even be a lot more expensive than a Merc or BMW or Audi !!

I would call this treachery to the original Mini and a plaything only for the Rich !

To me, the price is extremely disappointing and out of reach to all those ordinary people who might have been able to afford the original ! Read more

Hmm! "the original A-series 1275cc engine will be rebuilt with 50% more power and mated to a reconditioned four-speed gearbox". Is this wise? Won't the uprated engine overload the original-spec reconditioned gearbox?

I liked classic Saab 900s best

In 1998 I was very tempted by a used XM estate. Ultimately it was the main-model XM's reputation for poor reliability and not-so-great crash-worthiness which put me off, but the space and comfort level were soooooo tempting. A colleague better-informed on things motoring said I'd had a close escape, he claimed that the XM estate was the poorest-selling car in the UK (just 4 sold in one year?) and that the spares situating might be somewhat challenging!

I believe that when developing marketing strategies for the purpose of better sales, special attention should be paid to visualization. High-quality future depositphotos.com/vectors/future.html images will attract the attention of the target audience, it is more convenient for me to work with vector images,
because they are easy to scale and do not take up much space.

I've been thinking a lot about Grand Monday lately. It's not just because of my new car, the Renault Safrane (a French name for a snail). I have to get writemypaper4me for help in my research paper. I've also been thinking about Grand Monday because it's the day after Christmas and there are still two days left in the year. Read more
