Nice position to be in. Enjoy the search.

Belated due to too much time at work spent actually working for once, but cheers. Shopping with interest now...

Posted this in the Barge thread but probably deserves an airing here, looks very tidy indeed.

£10k sounds good if it does only have 56k miles on the clock.

Pretty sure this is the ex-4Star car. This started out at 5995 in 2011 in Powys,West Wales from a private seller, then 4Star started advertising it at 10,995 then thousand pound drops to 7995 before selling it last year now its up to 10,850k.

Edit: Just re-checked a 2012 Alpina Register thread about this very car; so if everyone adds 3k every year or so this car will soon outstrip B10 BiTurbos......

Edit; Have 4Star folded to become Millenium Heroes?

No - 4star very much still up and running, but that business has moved to new premises. Millennium Heroes have taken over 4star's old premises.

Same Company address and Directors though?

That is lovely, shame they didn't do the rear bumper trim before taking the pictures though.

[hornetrider]

Could need a bit of money spent if it's been sat for 5 years. Nice though.

Lovely indeed, been for sale since Noah was in short trousers. I think I emailed you this very car a year or two ago!

Nice. Very nice.

But then for a couple of grand more, I'd probably go full fat over semi skinned.



But then, would you go a couple more bags for Zwolf's M5?

Anyway, shouldn't we all be renting Golf R's at £179 a month like the whole world seems to be ATM?

A serial 540 owner from forum5 went and had a look and popped up a brief note on its shortcomings.

Yup, that looks like about how far I get between fill-ups too...

It's not it's selling point is it

80 miles daily commute is, errr, interesting

[ferrisbueller]

I did a tank of gas through one of those in about 80 miles AKA 6 laps.

[L100NYY]

Doesn't feel like I'm far off.
