Car buggy, recommendations please?

I'm a cm and have worked my way through quite a few buggies over the years but I'm looking for a bit of advice about which buggy would suit for taking out in the car (Renault Clio).

I currently have an ABC which can be changed from single to a double to a triple which I use only for walking as there is no way it'd fit in my car boot without completely dismantling it first!

I also have a Bugaboo Gecko which will fit in my car boot after I've removed one wheel.

Due to increasing the number of accessories I have for the ABC, space in the house is now very limited so I'm thinking about selling the Gecko and getting a small stroller to take in the car. I really love the gecko but it does take up more space than a stroller would and I'd prefer something that is in one piece.

My requirements are:

Easyfold in one
Reclining seat for small baby but not necessarily newborn
Compatible with a buggyboard
Price approx £80 or under (I think this is about what I'd get for the gecko)
Rear facing a bonus but not essential

I'd expect you to get more than that for your Gecko unless.it's in bad condition with no accessories.

I'd suggest getting a Baby Jogger City Mini. It doesn't rear face but does everything else. I don't think you'll find everything in one package for your budget, or else we'd all have one! :o

An O'baby umbrella fold? Or a maclaren triumph? Kiddicare.com often have a lot of choice.
I don't think you'll get rear facing within your budget unless you find a good condition vintage silver cross wayfarer on eBay. These are very nice and much improved if you oil all moving parts and tighten all the visible nuts on the frame! A clippasafe stroller poncho or cape can be used as a raincover if the original is missing. They fold fairly compactly and in one piece.
