Jag owner could (should?) double-down and fit a boomerang TV aerial ahead of the spoiler.

You see, there's nothing like good taste....

...and that's NOTHING like good taste

^ That's going in the Bargain Basement thread too.

Looks fabulous in principle! I wonder if it's as good as it looks...

That looks an absolute bargain... Obviously in need of a bit of TLC, but for sub-thread budget if it's even half as good as the pictures make it look...

Bit of a curio.





Certainly a bit of a looker, and supposed to ride very well on sophisticated multi link suspension. Shame it's not the Miller engine version as 160-odd BHP sounds a bit piffling these days, although I suppose the trade off would be clockwork reliability.

Either way, want.

Nice cars, one of my favourites back in the day.

£2,395! Distronic too.

Clearly there's only dents and scratches, but there seems to be no rust and other than that it is in great condition. Someone could buy it, pull out the dents and touch it up and there you go, a beautiful car with great potential in resale.
That could easily make 3x-4x that once the above has been done

Wafty!

[Krikkit]

Oof, that looks rather smashing. Can't believe how cheap they are getting, yet still look every bit as expensive as their younger counterparts imo.

[deadslow]

insane value, beautiful and very comfy looking

[hornetrider]

Dear God that CL is a tempter isn't it. Filth.

Now. I know it's gold, but check out this CL600!

That's very tempting. MOT history isn't anything too scary either.

Ha....definitely not. I'm quite liking it now....it had a FULL service including a very thorough inspection of everything last week. Only fault found was a corroded centre pipe. Less than £50 to sort

[Patrick Bateman]

Is the rule with the 600 not to go full twin turbo or go home?

[86DA]

Don't the normally aspirated V12 get an oil leak in the middle of the V which costs a fortune to fix.

I love CL's but you need to have your eyes open.

Makes it even more desirable!

[Riley Blue]

it's probaby a good thing both of those are 100+ miles from me, I'm looking for something to waft around in while my A8 is in 'hospital'. Either would be just the thing, perhaps even as a permanent ride.

I agree that Lowtimer's assessment is bang on correct too.

But Krikkit...you had it easy being an '80s child! Being ferried around INSIDE those cars?!?

Being a '60s child, "after licking t'mud off pavement with us tongues" we as kids...after a day out treat walking in the 'countryside' (Farthing Downs, Coulsdon i.e now South London)...if there were too many of us kids, 3 of us would be transported home inside the boot of my parents friend's car...a Vauxhall Victor. I'm not kidding!

I'm laughing now but can you imagine the consequences and carnage of 3 kids locked in the boot if a rear-end collision had occurred?

Safety restraints?

We, as a family, didn't have a car until I was about 9-10 years old (nor an inside toilet until I left home at 19 btw). My Mum learnt and her first car was a Triumph Herald that she bought for £50. Regularly on trips, with me sitting, unrestrained in any way in the front seat, she would go around a corner and the passenger door would fly open.

You were lucky!

We used to go on holiday on a mattress in the back of a VW van in 1971-72 , went to bed, got carried to the van , woke up on holiday, it was fantastic

Well apart from the time I woke up in mid air when my dad took evasive action avoiding a crash on the M5
