Tamsford · £7,995 on the forecourt
Tamsford Dawdle
Made for retirees, Sunday drivers and the very, very patient
The Tamsford Dawdle: a 2019 supermini in Seaside Blue, and one of the twelve on the forecourt at Cutshaw & Shutt, on the Radworth Ringway. Everybody's had one, as the badge says.
Its advert in the showroom is aimed at retirees, Sunday drivers and the very, very patient. Ask Gary about its history and he will tell you: Perfect first car. Cheap to insure.
The advert’s headline is There's no rush. It runs on petrol, holds 44 litres and manages about 52 miles to the gallon in a normal week of driving, so a full tank is good for roughly 503 miles.
“Perfect first car. Or second. Or getaway. Kidding.”
“Everybody's had one of these. Everybody. Your nan's had one.”
“Cheap to run, cheap to fix, cheap to - well, not cheap to buy, it's a good one.”
