It's worse than that. It went out of production completely between 2 and 3 months ago, while orders stopped a little while before that.

OH has decided that perhaps the Ewok convertible is nice but not practical ( small boot, smaller than her Micra CC top up or down) the rear seats don't fold down so the dog would be scuffing the leather. The choices now are keep the FL and either look at a second fun car or import her Micra, the roads are better than the UK so some of the scuttle shake will be eliminated and the windscreen may become less independent of the car Laughing my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I lived and worked in Cyprus for a couple of years and would have thought that a decent FL2 like yours is ideal, especially for travelling inland or through the Troodos. My recollection is that new cars are expensive and good secondhand practically non-existent.

I don't know how long you plan to stay but I imported my UK car and had a long term hire agreement on a second car. So cheap it wasn't worth buying.

I'd keep the FL Thumbs Up driving on the right side

Hi anglaslt, Minimum 4 years probably 6 to forever, I thought the Fl would be ideal and still do, the HSE SD seems to be rare very and FL2 are possibly mainly ex UK Forces cars privately imported, loads of FL1's Ewoks and DS with a sprinkling of Defenders and Disco 1&2 not seen any D3/4, RR Sport more popular than RRFF my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Another thing top consider is a cabriolet is fine for boulevard cruising but a bit of a disaster on their unmade roads. I once rented a 4wd with a removable canvas top but couln't put it down for choking dust. Look in the engine compartment of any rental car to see what I mean.

Whatever you decide, enjoy your stay. We still have fond memories of living a few miles outside Nicosia in a village at the foot of the Troodos. driving on the right side
