Clutch slipping? Sump full of slime? Big End gone?
Well, here is a golden opportunity to run your own second-hand car
business, with this rust-free superb little runner of a strategy
simulation. NEW WHEELS, JOHN?

How much can you squeeze out of the bank manager? Are you looking for a
seedy back-street car-lot or a touch of class? Can you spot a bargain at
the auction or have you got the nerve to clock a banger? Watch out for the
Old Bill, the man from the council, the smart-alec punter and the time-
waster. Try to survive in business long enough to pay off you bank loan;
you might even earn a quid or two. NEW WHEELS, JOHN?
