"340 bhp 6.7 seconds" I would have thought that would be 5.5 or so? Cos it's a heavy old hector, getting on for two tonnes with that lump up front, so it takes a while to get moving. And the gearing is set more for touring than racing Barry in his Fiesta with the stripes away from the lights. A 340 bhp TVR, at just over half the weight, takes around the 5 second mark to 60, by way of comparison. I can assure you they don't  I see you have a 450 Griff, and we know that the published, expert driver, brand new car, clutch ripping time is, about 4.2 secs......but have you actually timed a real, used one? My 400 Chim is supposed to do it in 5.1 secs, but it is nearer 6 seconds in reality.

I thought that house looked like a married quarter and checked your profile to see if you were in my previous neck of the woods - thought it was my very house! But it's not. I reckon that car's worth a look. It's a quarter at Northwood, god knows how much they would be worth on civvie street!

(Apologies if a repost) I've never really liked the E38 7ers, but I do think that a de-chrome helps improve things considerably.

That looks great, although I'd probably fit gingercators or at least pre-facelift clear rears. The dechroming was standard as part of the Sport package for early E38s, itself a fairly rare option. On the phone so can't judge too well, but that looks like Dolphin Grey, which is also lovely. I don't mind chrome if it's with a dark metallic colour like the various blacks, greens or Orient Blue. Silver looks crap with it though.
