I might have the opportunity to have the above car. Any one have any advice what to look for? Looking for something cheap over the winter while I get some jobs sorted on the R. Cheers

Never seen one with a manual box, thought all the 3litres had auto's, if it is a manual then it is a rare beast indeed. The only pointer I can give you really is don't be put off by rinkly door covers, they're all like that.

Apparently there are some V90s out there with manual boxes, but they are as rare as rocking horse poo.

As far as I was aware the 2.5's were the manual's, either way...the fuel consumption will make you think your T5 is a diesel,lol.

Yup, I've had loads of T5's now and the 960 was awefull on fuel, especially as it was so far down on power compared to a T5
