Sold my Saab 9-5 estate as surplus to requirements thinking my mother's wheel chair would fit into my 2000 saloon. No such luck so looking for a Standard Vanguard, Ensign, etc estate. Can  anyone help?

Just had a look at a Standard 10 Companion Estate advertised by a trader in Somerset for the the extortionate  price of £10,950. Was expecting to see the most exceptional vehicle on the planet, not so. Just another rip-off merchant preying on the unwary that has lots of money, enthusiasm and no idea.

Be warned there are sharks in the water (is that being unfair to the sharks). If you are not sure of your abilities when viewing a potential purchase take someone along with you that has. There are plenty in the club I'm sure.
