The want is matched only by the level of NLA involved.

Heard this too.

The seats look like they might be velour. I didn't know this was a possibility, but the want has just doubled.

I do rather like a battleship grey R32

Be interesting to see how values go on them

For the sheer ott'ness of the size of these beasties I rather fancy one.....

All the earlier ones are going to the US under the 25-year rule, decent ones were worth more in Japan than here before that.

On the basis of the one above, I really should have kept my last one...

Tonight I quite fancy some E32/4 action......

Spookily enough I looked over a B12 5.0 for someone just this week.

What a lovely daily that would be.

I'm a sucker for original number plates too.

I have virtually no experience of them but I like the E34. I reckon it's probably the perfectly sized car. Not too large, not too small, not too heavy, reasonable room for 5.

I've always disliked those small cross-spoke alloys though.

I've had a longish trip in one and their interior room is surreal. Their doors are possibly the closest a production car door has ever come to a bank vault's.

I ran one for a couple of years. Often transported me plus 4 Rugby team mates with plenty of space.

[L100NYY]

The E34 is rather lovely isn't it, I am rather partial to them and that one does look particularly nice. Oh and I like the 'small' cross spokes

S Class is a proper ol' beast of a thing.......far too big for what I need but, well, I still want one.

What sort of capital would one need to procure such a beast?

[sly fox]

Have we had this yet?

Autotrader shows £2k price disparity from dealers own website, so they've had it a while.

53k miles only!

This S280 is only £1695.00........so plenty of change left to cover the phone bills of calling people to let them know you'll be late;
