I met QW many years ago and was asked to look after him, his wife and his very young children (baby & toddler iirc) for a few hours, he was lovely, quite charming and even obliged me by coming to my car and doing a Top Gear style piece to my camcorder about it ('49 MKVI), then we had afternoon tea. My experience was good. I've heard a few things that might suggest he's not a perfect Gent, but let he who is without etc...
Hi Quentin!I wonder if the names of his kids were the back seat of the car in which they were conceived (Max apart of course).

Porcine is the Latin for pig.
Portia is the beautiful and intelligent heroine of 'The Merchant of Venice' and gets the sublime 'The quality of mercy is not strain'd / It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven' speech in 4.i.
Perhaps the single happiest moment of my life was watching The Merchant of Venice at the outdoor Shakespeare in Oxford one drowsy summer's evening in 2012 with a lass I was having a fling with at the time (not the current Mrs Z), as the stars were coming out.
On the subject of sublime I happened to see this earlier. Investigation has proceeded apace. The only drawback is that the current Mrs Z will leave me if another old Merc turns up.

The garages behind the car are Charles Ironside’s normal backdrop - I wonder if the vendor is the man himself, or are they old photos when the car was previously sold by him?

A potentially overpriced S211 E500 at £4,850, with unflattering shots of a dirty car and no interior shots. MOT from 2018 is consistently carrying over a few issues and there is a shocking lack of detail in the advert (perhaps that'll stop any unwanted questions?). However, the alloys are nice and the offside-only shots convey a vehicle confidently sitting upright on the raised suspension setting. Also, it has the facelift exhaust pipes, but the grille is the pre-facelift. Additionally, the fog lights are post facelift, but the headlights are pre-facelift - perhaps someone knows better than I.

Finishing at 21:41:46 GMT - looks to me like someone had a few too many and got carried away Be interesting to see if they pay up.
I think my next car will be either an estate or, dare I say, an SUV. Damn fridge in the back means I can only carry my bike on the back seats as it won't fit it the boot unfortunately.

This continues to be the finest thread on the internet.
I am catching up after some absence; excellent Jag bearding from dbdb as ever and nice to see an XJ40 for a change. I’m starting to appreciate Jags more and more as I get closer to 45 although my current favourite is the XF in either SV8 or R guise.
Some genuine lol at the Quentin Wilson anecdotes. I’ve frequently wondered if he posts on this thread but will not embarrass myself speculating openly on who suspicion fell!! Had always thought he seemed like a decent guy, a bit of a car luvvie, but essentially a chap cut from the cloth of this thread, so irrevocably sound. Actually a helmet. Oh dear...
On a tangent, this popped up in my YouTube suggestions and thought it would find some love here:

Assembly and testing of the armoured E38 in-period.
Spotted a few for sale over the years at very reasonable money so if I ever become a part-time despotic dictator or just really fancy draining the last reserves of unleaded from the earth I think this could be the way forward for around 4 x thread max.

It’s a pre-facelift, post mini-facelift, car but has the AMG bumpers - as an option they came with skirts/sills and I’m not sure those are the right ones; the mini-facelift, which saw the V6 diesels arrive, saw exposed tailpipes make an appearance. As you say, scant on detail and potentially over priced. 211s do rot brake pipes for fun, so no surprise, but having had one go on our car not something I’d ignore!
