Well looks like the review of the review of the review of the consultation about the review must be having some impact on our friends at Manganese Bronze already.

As i sauntered home this morning going up the Holloway Road (Got a roader to Potters Bar - Result!) I noticed the new TX2 'driver' is back for £24,990! Auto!.

Now if this price was here to stay for a bit accompanied with a sensible 20% deposit and 4 years 0% finance, you might even tempt GBC in there towards the end of this year. :?

Now the down side I guess, is the very poor spec offered, I know the bronze model is basic, so god knows what the driver has (or Has not) got on board. :cry:

Still I will pop in and have a little look next week, you never know if a decent trade in was offered for H898 I may be tempted.

If it would last fifteen years is another question. :?

My fairway still drives as well as it did, when I bought it in 1995

Didn't they do something like this last year? And I think the price was lower because they got rid of the extended warrenty.

I must admit if I ever were to buy an LTI motor, I would want a full warrenty for many many years. [-o<

But not even for £25k could you buy respect and the trust of the travelling public.

How is your rented mercedes?

My freehold Taxi is fine, chi-ching, chi-ching.

i also think its the running costs and mpg that make the likes of the conversion a better buy.
Some of the tx lads aren't getting much more than 20 to the gallon. [-(

By all accounts you don't get the safety child’s seat, the ashtray in the driver’s compartment, the ashtray on the passenger door, the additional power socket in the driver’s compartment, the telescopic aerial just a single piece rear mounted roof aerial and the sliding partition window. :lol:

Why would you need an ashtray nowadays anyway?

Which driver doesn't just chuck their dog-ends out the window? :?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know whether all of the TXII Drivers are black in colour?

I don't know anybody who has one, but I've seen four and all have been black.

I would sooner they started adding things like airbags and abs than getting rid of the few things they do havre. [-(
