US spec means twin headlamps and big dodgem-car bumpers.

And only 227 bhp out of a 5.6L V8. Shame, looks nice, but not for me..

low bhp yes, but likely a mountain of torque and they are built like tanks. i would love one and looked at a few, but the 500sl as it looks much prettier without the US spec 'safety' add ons [the 3rd brake light is a horror].


anyway, hows about this then?

if it isn't borked, this has to be a real bargain.

That looks sufficiently silly..

bit suspect that both those are for sale with similar wording. someone in sharjah biting off more than they could chew?

[oilydan]

Nahhh, that first one has been on there for months.

Although maybe the 2nd might have been imported to fix the first and has come up against a problem. Why else import a crashed DB7 into Dubai?

It's not even a V12 FFS

Thread running in the Pork section about that machine, looks great

I'd like to buy it and drive it back. Well, to Turkey at least. Might have to pop it on a boat from there as Syria is looking iffy for summer hols this year.

if the car is as sound as it looks, that's a good price even for a hotrod. not for me though, impact bumpers

i want it!!

[oilydan]

Anyone know of an RS4 that might be for sale? Looking for a blue one, but for the right price might be persuaded to go for a different colour.

Sport pack, Nav etc essential.
