Lads remember a while back I nearly changed my 1988 Nova for a S Type but decided to keep the Nova, well I can't get it out of my head I want a S type, its only a second car won't get used much, just a hobby car, I'm not keen on leather seats or auto box. Right I have found one 2.5 manual box and cloth seats one owner and looks decent Looking for advise here what would you do, the yearning will probably go away one day but I can't stop looking for one

Had a manual s type 3.0 and hated it,wished i had got the auto but was too wary of problems with them,didn't keep it long.

Thanks for the replies, seems like the s type isn't liked much, I too didn't fancy a auto because most seem to have problems when they have done a few miles, the manual is a bit rare this is the only one I have found for a while, any way I'll sleep on it, there's loads for sale, every time I take the covers of the nova I think its a great little car in marvellous condition but you fancy a change every now and then and I can't get the S type out of my head

Clean and original
Peanuts now, likely to increase in value over the years
