Greetings!

I was the first to test drive it I think. To be honest I think I really liked it but didn't want to rush into a 4200 whilst I was loving the raw power of the "twins" in my 3200. I think I may wait longer and try for a GS.
Enjoy it mate as it's a little different from the norm and is in great condition.
Neil.

It was a real battle to decide between a 4200 or 3200, but for the kind of driving I do, the 4200 fitted in a bit better. I'm also (as I suspect a proportion on here are) extremely pedantic about cars, so decisions take a while! A GS would have been nice, but I couldn't justify the extra cash, and again for the kind of driving I do, probably wouldn't have been the most suited!

BTW...noticed you had an 850! I had an 850csi which I LOVED but wow what a money pit that was I still look at the adverts for them and think.....should I get another?!

850csi...Thats a rare car these days.......Remember Jeremy Clarkson's original review of this car..I taped it and watched it over and over again....Loved the look of the car back in the day.

Pal of mine royally dinged his 850 on the Snake Pass, having lost it in pouring rain.
After the car came to a halt, bouncing off the walls and rocks, there was silence. Then the OBC told him with delight that the 'Nearside Headlamp wasn't functioning'.

**** right - we could see it sitting in the road about 50 yards away
