Love it. I've always had a soft spot for MGBGTs, and I love the "Sebring" look. Tasty. And <£6k, too.

I know, I know......oh so much want for this

Actually I've just spotted this one coming up at auction with an estimate of £14-18k.

It's a proper 'C raced in period, with 280bhp (that should do!)


nice.

[Crook]

Possibly the worst car commercial I have ever seen. God only knows what Audi were thinking.

That would be mental.

Oh and congratulations on the Mondial. Always liked them since I saw this:




Here's a vid I just stumbled across showing how versatile the family 4 seater really is.

Thanks - can't wait to pick it up. Although I wish I had more time at the moment!! If all goes well I'll be getting the Integrale back from service/belts/MoT this week, so it'll be next week at the earliest before I pick up the Mondial. It's having a post-purchase inspection done now, too. Fingers crossed there are no horror stories in there...

Awesome - great video. The car is the video is a 3.4t version (like mine) and looks like it handles pretty well, too.

That's quite uneasy viewing. Who said the Germans don't have a sense of humour. Yes, that has to win on the fail per £ scale...

Well it certainly got our attention. And I guess somebody somewhere will be saying the mere fact that we're talking about it means it is effective.

But they would be very very wrong.

A 'Grale and an 80s Ferrari? What kind of idiot would volunteer for that much grief???!! Next you will be saying your "reliable" car is a TVR...

Or an E34 M5 (with EDC) would complete your collection of bork potential!

Ignore them.

You're on the right track with a BL assembled V12 Jaguar.

[DJRC]

JAYB...but I don't think any of us have ever inflicted ourselves with that have we? Or does Norfolk's old Lister count?

[S3_Graham]

Would anybody 'in the trade' be kind enough to help me out with a book price for a mini cooper? 2004/71k

Thanks in advance!

Erm.

Um.

No, of course not.

The sort of lunatic that would do such a thing would probably have no qualms about ensuring that it was further modified with lots of expensive bespoke nla bits, made in single or double figures.

That would be archly bonkers.

My what? Coat? Ah, right. Ta. I'll be off now, then.

Ha - funnily enough (and I had to check this), I quoted an E34 M5 on page one of volume XVII of this thread...
