I think they can probably ask what they want, given the Tourings are hen's teeth! This one seems good if it's as described (albeit with the three litre)

Does look good however that front grill would have to go!

I hear you but I actually like it, it's quite subtle. Only thing I'd do to it would be to administer the hairdryer front and rear.

Dunno... but a nice looking saloon here for 12k, albeit with 100k on it. Looks tidy though, especially the leather.

That needs to go into the bad parking thread, its got about 1inch of tyre on the kerb.

Nice colour. Weirdly, that link showed up as if I'd already clicked it despite the ad saying it's been up for 1 day; I suspect it's been renewed and it's actually been for sale a while longer.

Purple/Grey = hard resale.

It's a £5k super saloon, I think condition is going to be more important than colour scheme to someone buying it for £3k in a year or two. Having said that, the grey interior is quite nice on Audis (not BMWs) and the purple exterior is rare and rather nice, so I disagree with your aesthetic opinion too wink

I think you're not worth your salt if you can't negotiate it into the other thread.

hehe

ETA: Just noticed it's only half leather. Challenging spec that.

Call me a snob but I'll take the one owner car with photos taken in his driveway in ascot. Ahm Ooot.

No one car in particular - there's plenty around. I had two of them.

When you bought them, or when you sold them?

Intergalactic Rolls anyone? This surely has to be one of the highest mileage examples in the UK?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3352847.htm

I might be interested in something like this in the future as a replacement for my LS400.

Can the mileage be a problem? I can't see it, if it has been serviced correctly.

I'd be interested in owners opinions regarding running a high mileage RR.

Almost seems to be too good to be true that one.......

Not sure why but in my head these dont work/break down all the time and would be terrifyingly expensive to run.
