Does anyone here know anything about a ABZ C63 SY61 NTT ?

I have just bought it and am picking it up in a week or two when I get back from offshore.

Cheers RG.

Very regularly seen, not driven badly. That's about all I know of it. What has happened to your 507? smile

507...Well..

I got offered a very good price for it from my good friend www.kennydunn.co.uk so I just let it go as I fancied a 997TT or a R8 V10 anyway,

BUT...when I came to the crunch the TT and the R8 were just too much £££ for highland fun and they just did not seem worth the £70 to £105K required,

SO.. I decided to go cheap and cheerfull again, RS4, M3,997C2s ect ect..something good for up north and the 507 was certainty that!!

BUT..when hunting around I went off the RS4 as they all seemed a bit old and " Blunt" now and I have had 5 M3s and then I found this...

The gods smiled upon me and I got it for £35k smile I still have the HRES so its getting a set of Mitch super sports like the 507 and let the fun begin!! AND half the price of the 507 so I don't have to be so precious with it " The Black Pig " as she is now called!!

The C63s are amazing cars, this is my third and they just get right under your skin : )

Did they really manage to get that back on the road after its huge crash?








Only kidding.


Never liked that garage you bought it from. Normally their cars are very overpriced.

Looks a very nice car. It's amazing how well some of the so called big and heavy cars can actually go and are quite often more nibble than expected. The R8 is a nice car but at over £100k is it worth it. Another very nice car is the Aston. There has been a few out on ph runs and I've always been impressed with them and they just look quality. I had a bril run with Scotty on Barry's run which you were on.
I'm not sure about the newer RS4's...... in my opinion they don't look half as good as they used to.

I am fair looking forward to it!!

A few mods on the cards just to improve it a wee bit, And of course back to my original number H20 MRV as the RG C3 AMG number cant go on it (so its for sale hint hint )

1/ fully floating front discs, Lighter, Better for dumping the heat
2/ DS 2500 pads front, Std rear
3/ Aeroquip hoses and dot 5 brake fluid
4/ Fit the HRES with Mich pilot super sports
5/ Gut the secondary cats ( I have a spare set of downpipes )
6/ Re - Map
7/ PERHAPS a Quaife lsd, Not sure though as the 507 did not have one and I did not seem to need it !!!

And that's about it : ) now just to get home and pick it up!!
