I bought and sold a Y reg one with similar mileage in 2018. Bought for £1500, 6 months later, sold for £1500. Still what they're worth IMHO.

I'm a nutter so I absolutely love that. Such good looking cars and there must be so few well cared for examples out there. It would have a place in my lottery win garage.

That's insane - for that money, you could get an actually interesting and rare Alpina E39.

Indeed, had one as a company car when they were new, one of the most comfortable cars I've ever had, taken me from then until now to get another car with proper armrests.

I know - I just sold a very nice E39 sport individual for less than £3K!

I’ve spoken to the seller out of curiosity and Covid boredom and my mans been on the crack pipe, apparently knocking back offers of over £12K! LOL

Well I'm with you; take it a bit further and it's an Austin A35 special. smile
Seriously, as much as I enjoy my cars, and those of others, I find it difficult to see £212,000 in any car; if it gets used the "value" falls, if it doesn't, one may as well have a model of it.

And really like Accord Type R's.

If that's the case you must be the guy who wins £150m on the EuroMillions but goes back to work on Monday.
