Mazda 626 GLX
Merry Christmas to all my Fickr friends & followers, hope you all enjoy the festive break :)
Thought this would make a nice Christmas upload in lieu of any actual seasonal scenes/weather this year.
This Mazda is on SORN and has been without an MOT since 2013, however the owner seemed to be very proactive in his care for this - apparently warming it up every couple of days and running it up and down the drive. I'd like to have had a chat with him about it, but unfortunately missed him each time I went past.
The other rather extraordinary thing about this car is the mileage - 295,035 in August 2012! I wonder if it now reads 300k.
Looks like there was a fair amount of rust to sort underneath back in 2009, with subsequent MOTs advising of 'extensive welding repairs', which rather backs up the theory that this car has a very caring owner who is determined to hang onto it.
