Where do you work?
Volvo showroom at DFC, they are getting sold through the jeep place next door till the showroom opens over the road but they use our workshops. Unless workshops are doing anything on them we dont even have the keys annoyingly as wouldnt mind a spin around the block in one!

Neglected or well used? I love it all the more for not being a garage queen. There used to be a guy in The Lakes who used his every day - might be the same one.

That Vanquish is awesome.

Best AM made for a long time. The current crop leave me completely cold which is a real shame.

I drove a colleagues Vanquish and it was completely underwhelming. I hang on to a hope that his was a nail and that others, such as that magnificent DKR one, are epic when pushing on.

I think they are very much like the V8 Vantage of old - another one of my favourite AMs.

Looks like its about to stomp your house down while bellowing like Brian Blessed with his left nut trapped in a zip but ultimately its not that dynamically brilliant. Very much a GT rather than a sports car.

bit of a cheat this first one but there's a superb 6.3 SEL at al awir, cracking colour combo and fantastic condition.



then in tecom we have:

golf country, pontiac fiero, bmw 2002



and a pair of 80s sharknose bmws - 5 and 6 series. the latter running on terrible alloys.
