Post by: Sliding Pillar on 18 February, 2011, 06:48:59 PM
There is a Dedra Automatic for sale on PistonHeads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2486033.htm
Looks cheap enough at £500.  But caveat emptor the auto Dedra is very slow and only gives approx 25mpg!!!

hi Ade,
never found the two I owned particularly slow as long as I used the sport switch rather than the kickdown, but they were least desirable of the Dedra's, mainly because all the autobox ratios were wrong, but I'd certainly agree the 25mpg, and that was on a good day, in heavy traffic it could be even worse, Tony Field who I bought my last one from, always reckoned he could get 30mpg, but he must have been real fairy footed on the throttle, although this figure was easily obtainable on the manual with a best of 36mpg obtainable on a long run.

Very True Dave, I'm also pretty sure we've seen this advertsed before, also why no shots of the engine?

It's now sold - not to me I hasten to add - the dog house isn't an attractive prospect.
