Bought my first 206cc today - 2002 1.6, black leather, a/c.
Looks great and can't wait to get it delivered - probably at the weekend.
BRING ON THE SUN!!!:D

Good luck Dave and welcome to the forum.
I'd use the time while you are waiting for the car to read the owner's manual thoroughly. Many problems with the 206cc seem to be self-inflicted by not following the user instructions to the letter.....particularly the roof.
Make sure everything that it is supposed to come with it is there - locking wheel nut socket, puncture repair aerosols, jack, wheelbrace, handbook, security card, both keys, service history. You'd be surprised how many people wait until they've handed over their hard-earned cash BEFORE they check!
Hope you've had a long test drive to check everything works ok.
Best wishes, Ron

Thanks for your good wishes.
All seems to be in order. Will as usual (only men reading this will understand this) be reading the handbook cover to cover in bed tonight!
Picked up the car 60 miles away, sat in almost stationary traffic for 30 minutes on the way home - good check if it's going to overheat.
Drove with top up and down, just returned from a night drive. CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR!!
Will give it a good look over in the next couple of weeks.
Will be back on if I need any advice.:thumbs:
