Sorry, it was actually the same question as earlier, I just changed the letters so I shortened my question:

Is it in the R-T range of the current manufacturers here? (still inclusive)

OK, so is it in the U-V range? (I am starting to wonder whether that wikipedia list is exhaustive! :D )

Well, if there's no catch, and the answers to Giniw are accurate, that leaves Vauxhall, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The answer's usually a Golf.

Is it a Golf?

Saltire > no we don't know if it's in the U-V or W-Z range yet. And the car is English and made in England.
So it could be Ultima, Vauxhall, Westfield, Williams Grand Prix Engineering or Zenos Cars.
My guess would be Vauxhall, but we can't be sure yet.

Not if the 0-60 time is around 10 secs. That's why I eliminated those :D

Good point about 'Made in England' - I'd missed that. AFAIK, the only Vauxhall made in UK is the Astra at Ellesmere Port.

I like Geoff's Up! suggestion though.


Sorry, my Y O U R S keys aren't working intermittently. :twisted:

Isn't a Vauxhall able to accelerate from nowt to 60 in around 10 seconds? That seems OK to me ^^
As for the model I have no clue at all!

One of the Corsa variants?

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
