Again 1986, This Auberghine 3000E was a lovely car, shod with Cosmics, originally an Auto but converted to manual. It wasnt that quick off the line, , due i now realise to the Auto diff. Sold it foolishly with anothe Silver 3000GT to a guy from Maidstone way. Think the reg was YCF 346K.

I'm guessing that they're taken from the "in the future, all people will travel and eat like this" tower at Lancaster (nee Forton) Services on the M6.![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
My dad had quite a few Volvo's in his lifetime, this being the 1st one I remember riding in.
(a 144 DL). Check out those fancy reclined seats with 'headrests' and huuuuge bumpers!

Here he is with his first BMW, a 1989 525iSE. We all loved this car though, somehow, I was always ended up getting the job of cleaning the alloys (went through a fair few old toothbrushes!).
Somewhere in the south of France.

He eventually replaced with it with a Volvo 940 SE which felt sheet after the lusty Beemer. The 940 got chopped for another E34 for a few more years before going back to some more Volvos (850, S60, XC70).
