The Boss has been looking at loads of crs recently (we have both wanted a JBA Falcon for a looong tmie for touring Europe).

But she has now broadened her horizons and has decided she likes (as do I) the look of the Moss Malvern (triumph based).

Just wondering if anyone on here has experience of either and has any good recommendations or advice?

Cheers all.

I think that my priority would be primarily something that has good fuel economy ( therefore a modern(ish) engine?) and then decent space for luggage if you are going touring. Would love to go touring in the Locost but cost of fuel is a definate consideration for me.

Having owned and driven a Falcon I"d have no hesitation in recommending one. I had a Sierra based Touring Model and it was brilliant. Very comfortable, lots of poke and it turned heads everywhere we went in it. Especially when you breezed past Boy Racers at an unmentionable speed!!!! Plenty of room for luggage etc. Fuel economy wouldnt REALLY be an issue as you probably wont do more than 3/4 thousand miles in the year. There is one for sale presently on EBay . Sorry I cant do links. Its a blue one , needs a bit of work,but nothing a reasonable handy guy couldnt handle. I have no connection with it, but if I were looking at the moment, Id give it serious consideration.A top class car will have no problem in getting 6-8k .I got 8 for mine when I sold it two years ago. Best of luck
