There was a red 1 for half the price, personally I think too highly strung for this part of the world. Electrics are a mare to get working right and given the -35 this one has issues.

Parts are not bad used as they are a mix and match of biturbo and quattroporte

This is/was my car

It's had a white foil wrap and company branding on it for the last couple of years which has now been removed putting it back to the original black colour. I'm going to miss that car!

i take it you're the guy i met with the sore finger when dan was showing me how to crash model planes?

is the car honest, any issues etc? seems a bargain at that price and mileage

oh, and didn't it get keyed at one point hence the wrap?

[broxis11]

Yes mate, that's correct. The finger has healed but unfortunately the flying skills (or lack thereof) remain.

I sold it last night. Mechanically its sound but it's needing quite a few bits and bobs doing aesthetically so I'm happy enough with what we agreed upon.

anything specialist of a certain age depreciates like a stone here. that m5 is the first i've seen with reasonable miles tho.

that 944 turbo is pretty sweet. they have really great stock at the moment including a flat nose 911 turbo, a turquoise 993 turbo s, a sweet renault gta, loads of 80s bmws and a merc pullman!

i can confirm that the elise is indeed in the uae. i can also confirm that the seller's a great guy and the new owner has a jeep and a clio for sale

[dunebuggy]

The Elise link no longer seems to work?
Is it sold?

Rumour is we were going to get pictures after he had polished the car, guess something else is getting polished.
