Was this the final incarnation of the V6 from the Capri?

My brother had one. Was super comfortable inside, just hideous outside!

It was such a good looking car just before, it amazes me that such an important decision can be made so badly.

Had to do a double take, thought he had just reversed his ML into something.

I'd say so too. There is a strong following for nice e36's and there is not many left like this one. £7.5k isn't that much.

I suspect it's a small dealer being shy about vending such an expensive machine that might leave them on the hook if it catastrophically expired. It's 3x the next most expensive car on their lot.

When I see these small dealers with <10k hatchbacks and a singular supercars I just assume it’s a way of running a nice car for the owner via their business...

Seriously? Are E36's that much now? I know E30's have gone way up recently, but that does seem to be very strong money for an E36.

I've always preferred the pre facelift. Looks way more modern than an early 80's design.

you know when a new car comes out and the public all appear to moan and groan at the new styling, but they then improve with age and still look relatively modern today?

This car still hasn't managed it.

Dealer owner’s car kept on stock at an inflated value to allow them to borrow more money for stock financing?

Not sure about 100k but that is absolutely stunning, the colour wheel combination too, the design reminds me of an E36 Coupe.

For that money I would expect a non modified and perfect example. No stone chips, no flaking paint and certainly no modifications.

I’m not 100% certain but I think that car made headlines before when it sold for £35+k
