I love this thread! I reckon that one was posted up when it was sold last time. IIRC might have been sold by someone near Chepstow but I might be confusing it with another one. IIRC sold for about £1200 at the time. There were four I was looking at, one near Chepstow, one in South East, one on Hayling Island (lighter interior) and one in Northampton (but that had spent it's life around St. Ives).
I can't see there being much to lose if that is as described. Drive it, if something expensive breaks, scrap it.

"im 71 years old now and my heath is not to good so its time to let the old girl go"

I figure this will keep values low. The older folk appreciate large cars and MB etc. build quality. Such owners are getting old and there are fewer bargista's coming through the ranks (I suspect they are all here smile )
st. About six miles from where I'm sitting now.

I'd find it terribly slow after an E34 540 wouldn't I? Apart from the looks is there a compelling reason to swap into this?
If it was 6 miles away from here, I'd already have phoned. In fact, its probably the only reason I havent.

Good honest looking ad for a cheap barge

Certainly the kind of car you'd want to buy over a £1295 from an eBay trader barge.
What a lovely old Hector. I don't normally go for the 728, but I love that one for some reason. I think because, as you say, it looks like a proper honest car.

I'm near Chepstow and sold my 728i with a similar type of advert. That car looks a nice old dear - sadly lacking aubergine hide to be perfect.

I think GBB is referring to one on Ebay about a year ago maybe that popped up on here and the photos had been taken down near that massive tile shop in Bulwark. Couldn't decide if that was a good thing or a bad thing!

Near that massive tile shop would be right next to Forza West, I'd say that's a good thing.

That was indeed the one. I'm not sure if that was the one Hornet bought or not, as I think someone here bought that one.

I remember ringing/emailing about 2, plus viewing the one in Northampton (and nearly buying it), plus the one in Hayling Island.

Just collected my car from MOT. More about running costs later but emissions suprised me.

2000 3.5 BMW V8 112K

Fast Idle - CO=0%, HC=2ppm, Lambda 1.00
Natural Idle - CO=0%

What would you expect from a brand new vehicle?
