PH still haven't done the Fiat Coupe yet, which are available at less than a grand and would make a great shed. Anybody else want to see a Fiat Coupe shed?
I beg to differ... http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=162&i=197...Still... might be time for an SOTW comeback for it

Slight correction of original article - the 750iL in the James Bond film was actually a 740iL rebadged for the film.
Not a lot of people know that.
Now thats proper trivia (none of your "they share the same glovebox hinge as a metro")Not a lot of people know that.
was actually a one-off manual 750i badged as a 735i.

Both pieces of trivia added to my moviedatabank.
Top SOTW, lovely car.
Had a met blue 730i V8 a few years back.
Lovely car. Superb build quality. Smooth ride, and they feel very planted for such a big car.
Alot of the nikasil issues are now sorted, otherwise you'd know about it by now!
Only thing is they like a drink! But, perfect motorway cruisers.
One of the better models to go for are the 740i Sports, MY 2000 onwards, which come with the sports leather interior, 18" M Parallels, etc.
So mch car for the cash.

This is my shed. Cheaper to run (730 V8), manual, nearly same performance, much easier to come by - if something minor goes wrong.
And more style, by the way...
edited for typo
I had a late ('94) model, one or the last M30 3.0 six cylinder mmodels, and that had the wider grill.
Gives the car a much more purposeful stance.
