54 plate Hyundai Coupe. It’s got a couple of dents, few rust patches and the paint is starting to look rubbish, but the wife has had it from new. It’s currently having a rest in Oloron Sainte Marie in the Pyrenees after driving us down from Durham, before we resume our journey to Nerja on the Costa del Sol on Tuesday. It’s done the same trip once before, though it did need the exhaust welding back on that time after it fell apart somewhere south of Madrid.
It’s also surprising what you can fit in the back of one with the rear seats folded down. Diving kit, a couple of road bikes, luggage and still enough room for a load of wine and chorizo on the way back
