It's definately a 3 litre diesel according to DVLA. Emmisions hint it's a 530 or 535..

It's a 530d SE

I've seen that car a few times, used to be in Swansea for a short while, then a PHer spotted it in Manchester a few months later IIRC. The plate used to read "ML 53O JF". That finishing touch..

The famous (in Capri circles) General Lee Capri. For sale as well ...

I think it is £3500. Which to me is £3500 too much.

It must have sold, I saw it being trailered down the M6 on Sunday!

Car regularly serviced. Oil changed with filter every 1500 miles.

what possible reason could he have for changing the oil every 1500 miles? besides maybe a contamination issue or a leak?

seems like an expensive thing to do!

If I buy a 'new' car I usually have the oil changed a few times in short succession but that usually tails off to more 'service interval' frequencies after a few months.

Because 2 shark fin aerials are better than one!

Doesn't really resemble any Alpina E34 I've seen before!

That's what makes it even worse. Someone one with talent, but no taste has built it.

Maybe an only fools and horses fan.

Oh I don't know, paint it decent shade of black and it will scare the MLM's back in to the inside lane (I think it's an improvement on the XF thing)

I quite like that Jag. Not in that colour combo, but painted a dark green or maybe a dark blue then it would look good.

It does look to be well put together but honestly, kill it, KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Wouldn't look quite so bad with a different grill and wheels

Appears high standard but poorly executed
