No. Not exactly sure what glasses guide @Big Pimp is reading. A GR Yaris though, I'm sure it could make its way to 50k. And it will do more than 30mpg to boot
£50k to spend - has to be fast, do 30mpg on a motorway run and be kind of ‘special’.

Because it’s the second one (at ca. 36/7k miles) they’ve got to replace sparkies. Now, it could be a pile of poo but as I understand it to get to the plugs on these engines is a bit of a job so time is get £. Edit: Just re-reading my original data there and the sparks issue relates to original M2 (Comp may be the same but it’s a different engine so perhaps not after all?).

If you are serious about one I have one for sale on behalf of a client. An absolute belter in red
Was that at Bavarian? If you don’t mind me asking, did you get a bit of money off or is that ex. Vat?

Country garage, that was inc vat, they always treated me well, only main dealer I never complained about! I
Prentice's are currently quoting £838.70 for the major service..... one eye on that, as I need it done at the end of the year. Might be able to wangle a friends and fam 10% discount on that, but its still sweaty!
It's got me considering an indy, but dealer goodwill is always handy and I've got the extended warranty too.
Anyways, I digress.
Complete leftfield choice, a low mileage Mk2 focus RS, with mountune kit?

Biased, but the ISF is definitely worth a shout. Can see 30mpg or close on a run thanks to a nice long 8th gear. Over my ownership this year past, I've averaged 22mpg. That's more than plenty hard driving also.
Rare too!

I had a 2004 XJ Jag 4.2 v8 and on the way back from wales I was running early for the boat so sat at 60 with the lorries. Managed 38mpg. Did routinely pass 30mpg once home if on the motorway, and I'd imagine cars have got more economical since
In saying that, the 2000 CL500 5.0 v8 I had could barely get into the low 20s on a motorway run. Mad difference.

Passed a black one like that on the Sydenham Bypass this morning and it really caught my eye. Lovely lines, love the rear arches on it.
