Lovely - looks similar to one me old man had in the 90s, a 1996 328i Touring in Boston Green with caramel leather. Him and me mum both thought it was the best of 17+ BMWs they had. He liked it that much he borrowed an M3 Evo and couldn't see the improvement over his 328i unless he was absolutely hammering it. Admittedly I did go out in it when he was hammering the Evo and it was mighty impressive, but the 328i was nicer day to day.

Absolutely stunning. Looks like a Racing Green recreation to me?
I’ll go Petersen. Glorious thing either way.
Friend inherited his fathers collection a couple of years ago, among them is a proper pre war Bentley. His father took it all over the world which is rather lovely.
Vintage cars have never really floated my boat so to speak (although I do love hot rods). But William Medcalf is up the road from me and I went to an open day there and it changed my mind a little. A vintage Bentley or RR would be a fine thing for a picnic outing or a day at the races
Vauxhall 30/98 is a fantastic thing, true 100mph car (first road car to reach it in fact) and also great at long distance lolloping too.
Brakes are pretty poor though and only use foot brake in an emergency!!
Been going to, and member of, VSCC for as long as I can remember.
