Dick Chown Award 2016
After owning many cars over 44 years one thing still amazes me with these great little A2s and that is how few of my A2s have ever failed an MOT !!!
I have had a few "Well worn" ones too ad they have all sailed through. Out of 15 A2 MOT tests not one has failed
There was one advisory though, the rear shock absorber dust covers are flagged as "loose". I think I would be more amazed if they WEREN'T loose.
They are probably the worst designed part on the A2. I have used OEM replacements and many other options and within a few weeks they all come away from the "foam" bump stop.
This is the view from my window earlier. Three A2s all lined up
Left to right
Our Daughter's that has just passed the MOT (A low mileage car with FASH and DIS we bought a few weeks ago for £3,200)
My wife's A2 which is now white (was red) very high spec including BOSE, Heated leather, rear cup-holders, Double DIN, Auto rear view etc. Bought 6 months ago for £3,800, a bargain in my view)
