Do you know when that image was taken? It looks an awful lot like my old one (Mars red, flat front, white wheels)

Did the Ur Quattro ever have body coloured mirror housings? I didn't think they did.

It says "Image Date: April 2017" in the bottom right corner.

Isn't that Tornado Red though? I thought Mars Red was a bit more orange than that.

What a bloody shame. A V12 850i, not the best model but even so.

I still think it's the one I'd have though, given the space and spare cash.

I very much hope yours went to a better place than that – I'd assumed it was getting the full rest works it deserved.

I do hope so too, and it was sold to someone in Sheffield with a BMW X who said they were going to do just that. I then saw it only a matter of weeks while after I'd sold it listed on eBay with the engine 'rebuilt' but nothing else done, it looked a bit of a quick turnaround job with still lots required to be done. It was listed as SORN last time I looked with MoT having expired a while ago.
