Hello from Essex

Post by hpmark » Thu May 01, 2025 6:02 pm

Hi

Just collected my first Lightweight.

So far so good, just in time for the Sunny weather.

Have had a Series 3 in the past but always wanted a lightweight.

Couple of jobs to do
Drivers side wiper
Fuel gauge
But starts and drives great.
