(1/5) After our unexpected #Riley, let’s return to Christmas night in a #Citroen #Berlingo in a Morrison’s car park in Essex. After 110,000 miles, we needed a replacement with a bit more reliability, something perhaps quirky but practical, chuckable in a ‘very tall go-kart’ sort of way, economical.
And, above all, environmentally friendly. A #Skoda #Yeti. With VW’s EA189 2-litre diesel engine, it couldn’t be anything else. Could it?

(1/5) Around 2009 we had a family bereavement and a bit of a windfall. We treated it as a ‘most for our old age, a bit for us now’ occasion and I found myself with £3500 to invest.
On to eBay (sober!)… We had a sensible #Berlingo, we had a plaything #MidasGold. What did I need?

What did eBay turn up 15 miles from home? A 1960 #Riley 4/68 in the most desirable Bermuda blue over cream colour scheme.

(4/5) The #Berlingo’s performance was adequate but a light chipping just increased the mid-range urge and top end enough to address any weakness. It was genuinely possible to drive 500 miles and emerge without even stretching, and remains Beth’s favourite car for comfort.
It was also reliable: 10 years, 110,000 miles, one alternator, three coil springs. But it was the springs that heralded its replacement...
