[monkey]

Hello to All out there,just thought I'd introduce myself..I was'nt overly impressed with Cruiser forums 'ere in the UK so thought I would join this one as it appeared to be a tad more active!!..Been always an admirer of the PT and one has just caught my eye on the forecourt of a local Specialist and am really tempted to open my wallet and watch the moths fly out!..However before this very drastic move was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers of what to look out for on a 51 Touring Auto as new to the little beasties..and do want to use it as a daily vehicle...the autos not putting me off as I am a lazy git to the point Mrs Monkey usually half chews my food..plus I get enough exercise with me '55 Austin Cambridge 'Sled!..Any enlightenment would be muchly appreciated!!!?...Advert for said Cruiser can be found at
51 PT Cruiser Touring For Sale at Cleevewood Garage Bristol

Welcome to the forum Monkey.

I'm a member of UK Cruisers.net since I spent 12 years in Harrogate and still have a lot of friends over there. Is that the UK forum you weren't impressed with? Here's the website....

UK Cruiser Club :: Index

The dealer write-up said there's full service documentation with the car so if you can look at it, you can tell if it was regularly serviced. You have different motors over in the UK, or should I say more choices. We only have the 2.4ltr gas engine were you have the diesel, 2.4 gas and 2.0 (not sure if that's gas or diesel), so the one your looking at might be one that we have no knowledge of.

If you treat them right, it's a great little car. They do have parts that go wrong and the biggest complaint I see on the UK site in the front bushings. They don't seem to last very long.
