Any PHers likely to be attending?

Okay - I'm guessing 16k max.

They'll never all fit in.

Chum of mine with extensive experience of both Bentleys and Lexii swears that emotive Britishness aside (organ stops, book matched veneer etc) the Lexus is the nicer place to be and better built to boot.

I went on a short trip in an LS600 recently and that was nothing short of astonishing.

They are certainly great cars.
I know which I'd prefer though.

Compare these two:

Lexus LS (2000-06)

There we agree - was just comparing V8 with V8 previously.

The Teutonic V12 IS awesome!

You'd have thought but its not the case.

55 plate cars are well under £20K which is one hell of a fall in 3 years.

That is an enormous amount of car for the cash.

Was interested in that Phantom Drophead at this or the last Colchester auction. Thats lost something like £2K a WEEK since new.

The car sold at £215k three months ago and £185k this time. Ten grand a month depreciation!

[Plotloss]

Seems to have lost around £10K a month since new.

Pass the vaseline, blimey.

Bloody outrageous.

I sold my 330d touring 2004 with 65k on the clock last month for 12.5k!

I hate to think what my 2002 S2000 is worth now (no, I really dont want to know, thank you!)

Go on. Of course you do!

One went through on Thursday...

that hurt!

Ahh well, I will hang on to it for a bit and call Honda on Monday and extend the warranty for another year! (previous owner extended it an extra three years)

1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello 485bhp coupe £30,500 provisional

How bad could it possibly be ? I'm seeing The BOR in that car right now.

Here's the same car after a winter sleep - it's had no bodywork or paint, just a polish and a £250 DVLA plate....

Enjoy

[cccscotland]

So far, not too bad. Wait till it gets used more in the summer......
Fingers crossed!

What can one say, but "Phwoar" - a beautiful machine.
A much, much better colour for the shape than the usual rosso as well.

[Swoxy]

Result!

[Not Ideal]

Looks absolutely fantastic.!
