155 TS on Autotrader.

[GTA_Dave]

Noticed a nice looking 155 2.0 TS on autotrader,and it's only 12 miles from me.Might be tempted as an everyday runabout.I only travel 2 miles to work,and back,and the GTA feels a bit wasted!But then,I would be taxing and insuring two cars,the GTA which would be parked in the driveway most of the time,and maybe the 155,which would be parked at work most of the time!It is a tidy looking example though,and maybe a future "classic"?

Looks good in the pics, assuming it's the same one,

I'm not an expert so can't give you any advice, but as a wise man once said to me, "go for it"

What I do know is that I see a 155 driving around where I live, and I think it's a very cool car, (although I only ever see it at night), and I have very vague recollections of Bertie Fisher raving about the 155 in Carsport years ago, (I think he had one)

did you go for it, I assume not or we would have heard, (although I haven't been around much)

[GTA_Dave]

Didn't bother in the end,couldn't really justify running two cars-after all I only cover about 8K a year anyway,plus the ad disappeared from A/T so I assume it was snapped up.

Not in ballynahinch. I live near Lisburn. Interesting to know I am not alone in my love of the 155 I thought mine was 1 of only 2 here, the other last spotted coleraine direction. what colour is the one in ballynahinch?

There's a red 155 1.8 Tspark that parks in my work car park in Belfast. There is a widebody 155V6 about Coleraine in Proteo Red.

I've only seen it a few times and always at night, I believe it's Blue (rubbish memory)

Are you ever around the 'Hinch, It could be a coincidence I've noticed you the few times you were about,
