200k miles, Turbo R, near thread max.

Looking at the Shedding Card website, there is potential to "place a private booking for more than 20 people" for the restoration workshop tour if the numbers work.

Though if each of us turned up in their best Barge (or bike - mine is a suitably barge-like 1990 FJ1200, as it happens), we could put on a perfectly respectable tour of our own in the car park.

They'd go down a treat in Holmfirth.
Honest.

But they ain't clogs?

I'd be the same, cant be turning up to a barge meet in a 1.6 diesel civic.
Most bikers would say Harleys are barges anyway so I'd sort of in

Definitely the bike-barge equivalent.

Does that make my present transalp the equivalent of a 4x4 barge?

Soft comfortable suspension, big comfortable seat, loping engine. Yep, a Transalp could possibly pass as a barge but something like any BMW RT/K LT would definitely be classed as a barge as would something like a Goldwing.

Not been to the Carding Shed for ages but enjoyed it and the Oil Can cafe does a good breakfast. Also a lovely one hour drive across the Spen Valley for me

It only got to 200,000 miles by driving there.

If it wasn't broken for as long as that, then it's certainly not broken now. Logic.

Probably.

Definitely something with white wall tyres.

Looks great doesn't it, apart from the window sills, where the leather seems to have broken down.

All the Brown you could want.

That's wood. I already know I can do a solid 3/10 job on that sort of thing. No worries.

What puts me off is that I'd A) actually feel a bit of a plum driving it and B) I think Shadows are much much cooler.

I never trust anyone that wears brogues.

Those seats look good for 200k and having seen his previous attempt I'd get Prinny to do the wood

Don't look too closely.

This looks to be great value currently compared to the expensive version from Thursday:

Shabby Turbo R looks good from afar and the interior would be a sumptuous place from where you can run your drugs and prostitution racket - just 90k miles. Looks like a decade in storage

T1 with just 30k miles

https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1325662

Boats and gravel! CLK430

Another 430 - super low miles and clean MOT

How long until these drop into thread in petrol form? This is the closest I've seen so far at £8450 or were they cheaper pre-covid?

The previous owner is just doing the testing Bentley should have done!
