The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T (Vol XVII)

[rejn]

From time to time, I see adverts from this dealer in the Netherlands - they seem to get quite a few RHD ex-British cars - some of which are Cat D.

Is there anything dodgy going on here? or are they just not giving reg numbers so you can't trace the history? It would seem an odd business model to set up a dealership in the Netherlands selling UK cars?

Aside from the dealer concerns, the V8 Esprit looks good: I don't believe these will be £20k cars forever.

noted!!! I still fancy an Esprit - just not that one any more!

Actually, I'll take this one, thanks: GT3. Red. £27k. 27k miles. Perfect.

My chum has just sold a fantastic Esprit Turbo SE, I think one of those or a GT3 would be my pick.

Or maybe a Sport 350.

Or a Sport 300.

Loving the XKR-S. That shape still looks good - sure the later engines are better but what more do you want than a spot of open-road decorum balanced against cornering enthusiasm, good looks and a thumping drive-train.

Maser a good suggestion.

Bentley lovely - DK Engineering quite a good spot to enjoy some tasty motors as well!

ETS: I agree with esteemed posters above / below that a Box / 911 / E63/64 Six are also good suggestions. Probably more sensible than Bentleys or Masers!

E93 M3?

The back of the Dimma lacks width doesn't it?

Don't suppose you'd get much of a T16 for £13k though...

If they're handing out Group B rally cars, I'll take a 6R4 thanks!

wasn't it Peformance Car back in the day who got together most of the Group B rally cars for a feature - Audi quattro, 6R4, Peugeot T16, a mad Citroen BX(?) and possibly others... [waits for somebody to post up cover of magazine]
