These E28s are great cars. I had an auto 528 and a manual 535. Both brilliant.Does this smell scammy ? Decent ones are normally double the price of this one.

No advisories since 2009 when it failed for brake imbalancing and nothing else. No advisories. Nothing even when it failed!
06-09 no advisories.
Looks lovely!

It gets many bonus points for being a rare manual E31, but take a few away for the engine. I'd rather have a manual 4.4 V8: the V12 one worth having is the 850CSi with its 5.6 litre 375 hp engine.
I remember at the time, as a wise and knowledgeable 12 year old, being completely underwhelmed that BMWs new V12 engine managed to make no more power than the Jaguar V12 engine introduced 20 years previously. If I recall correctly it was also less refined than the Jaguar engine.

Or the 350bhp Alpina B12 5.0, or if you have very deep pockets the 416bhp B12 5.7.Pushing our budget, but worth it, I think.

Given the mileage I reckon that should be in thread budget - but major brave pills required and I'd expect to see a FMBSH before I'd even entertain it! That's got to be a posh taxi in a past life?!£16,989 - Mercedes-Benz S Class 6.0 S65 AMG

Something doesn't add up with the mileage and MOT history either - suggests it was last MOTd in Sept '14 at 205k, so it's either had a haircut and a plate change, or it's a very old advert

Saying "Birmingham, Worcestershire" suggest an attempt at trying to pastoral-ise a site for which the description "back street" is an aspiration - that part of inner-city Birmingham has not been part of Worcestershire since the early 20th century! I agree, twice the real value and even then you'd need to be mad!Something doesn't add up with the mileage and MOT history either - suggests it was last MOTd in Sept '14 at 205k, so it's either had a haircut and a plate change, or it's a very old advert

I was watching that one before I bought the XJR-S off CdG. I think he's knocked £500 off it. It looks lovely, and although I prefer the low chrome look of the XJR-S the 4 speed gearbox, outboard brakes, and better parts availability of the factory 6 litre does appeal. Interestingly they only make 300bhp odd rather than the 330bhp of the JaguarSport 6.0.Lowtimer said:
318hp, isn't it, for Euro cars? 302hp for US?
I'd have to check. I think it was 318bhp in the X300 but I've got a feeling it was always a bit less in the XJS? My Jaguar beard has been moulting over the last few years, I'm going to have to put some work into it.ETA - Just looked it up, 308 bhp and 6.8 to 60 for the 1993 on 6.0 litre with the 4 speed auto. I'd have thought the lower final drive ratio and 4 speed box would have made it quicker to 60 than the XJR-S (6.5 seconds) but seemingly not. I want to have a go of one now.

If the buyer of this CLS55 happens to be on here, please keep it as is and sell it to me in about a year's time

Ooooo - should it be bought and then driven across a desert, through a jungle or across some tundra?(Sorry, really can't see its "Interesting-ness" factor - that's probably a bit of a heretical admission?)
