Seriously?
A car I really admire but WFT this is insane pricing

I remember not too long ago 2007 ish you could get these for well under £20k. Now £50k is the entry if you can find one.

But at these prices it's above the E32 3.8 Ltr Nurburgring limited edition which given it was inferior to the M5 is odd.

I think you mean the E34 3.8L? I had one of those, with the Nurburg option, and it was a magnificent car, but it would never have the street cred of an LC, and wouldn't be as quick

Prices of B10 BiTurbos are fairly hefty these days though

That's the one - one of the best looking road cars IMHO.

Indeed, or old 911s - 6 figure sums are the norm for some of the 80 s ones


Like you, I'm surprised he's surprised about this

Especially as he's not been living under a rock for the last 5 years

I'm surprised due to the fact they were mid to high £20's only the other year now £100k asking. I'm surprised as it's way ahead of the E34 3.8ltr Nurburgring edition which is madness

Mad price.....

No-one has bit my hand off for one with 40 K miles at £30 K

So back into storage it goes for another winter.

Where did you advertise that, I have been looking for the right LC for sometime and have just bought one. If I had seen one for sale at £30k with 40k miles I would have ripped your arm off...

Looks like this thread may have resulted in a LC purchase that's what PH is all about.

bd Child is going to be £30k up rolling into Xmas happy days

Not advertising it anywhere - car club I'm in knows it's for sale - anyone serious in hunting for one would be advised to buy a "known" car

Mines a bit difficult to sell due to it's previous history - and the fact I've owned it and I don't treat it like a show and shine car



Previous History - well this should cover it

Good to see a car used as it was designed to be rather than a hidden away car who's owner is greedy for appreciation only.
