They are not sitting in the back yard :)  Are you saying I could get
any 2007 models of those with 4000 K's for the same money ?
I have not looked to be honest  just tripped over this thing  as
described.

Other factor is it is able to fit under some gear that the above ones
don't  ( like Rotor blades)
Other main factor is  better half can use it as a shopping trolley and
cheaper to insure & run and less likely to be stolen ( bit like old
volvo 244's)

Its is just a shopping trolley and paddock basher  and cheaper on
tyres  etc

You are very correct on the Latin advice also  .
As I said was just looking for a tinkering project and add another
"orphan" to the collection :)
Cheers
