It's a shame as looks a bit Halfords now.

Agreed and it has Nankangs too. But if the rest of the car looks ok I can see past these foibles.

Ensure PPE is in use. Not for children under the age of 50. Perhaps most suited to the visually impaired.

Love the handles on the backs of the front seats. Are crash helmets supplied for rear seat passengers? Looks only a mother could love, a truly hideous mish mash of ideas going on in one car.

It is an extraordinary thing. The Viewt Jag homage is at least resolved and of-a-piece.
This monstrosity is like one of those home-modified botchups with ill fitting and out of proportion MDF addenda. You see it and after the initial horror has subsided attempt to recognise the donor vehicle.

I'm sure James May tried one of these in an old Top Gear when they did the GTR - Bullit Train challenge.

He thought it was comedic. And ste.

Is it just me or does that feel a lot for a 16 year old 5 series?

Does look lovely but it's an awful lot of cash for a pretty much non collectors car

Merc CL's continuing to tumble.

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

The economics of running one of these remains a challenge and going to get worse with changes to low emission zones and so on, but very much in the 'a lot of car for the money' bracket.

I paid roughly that almost 3 yrs ago for mine so I don’t think prices have tumbled. Servicing is reasonable but petrol bills are large.

What are these like as a barge? I've seen a 55 plate with 111k on it, full service history, v6 TDI engine, all for under 4k, I'm in love!

I took my bosses Conti Flying Spur for a service as he was away for a few months, I think you'd want to factor in that annual cost before dropping money on one of these!
