A stunning shooting brake, a must have for any sophisticated man about town.

How about this 7 series for 12k?
Very tired. Cheap tinted blinkers. Tired front.

Looks like it was polished with a brillo pad.

£12 large for a P reg Cat C BMW? ...£11500 too much I think.

You need some patience scrolling through photos but if you do the headlining, rear sunshades are particularly “well maintained”.

Wow that really does look as rough as ten bears, like it was painted with a brush then polished with steel wool. The jaunty angle of the boot badge and hopeless colour match of the boot fills me with confidence too.

The way these £100k uber barges almost all become neglected dogs is incredible.

That's a real shocker. Do dealers/sellers not consider what pricing and selling cars like this does for their reputation? Would you trust any of their stock after seeing that heap at that price??

How does the phone still work? Do they take normal sim cards?

If that wasn't a V12, I could quite easily see it as a shed of the week at £1200

You need the old fashioned credit card sized sim & holder; can be a ball ache to sort and I think it's only Voda that can get them now IIRC

£10k overpriced surely at least? Where the hell did they pluck that price from? Cracked interior trim and that paintwork is incredible. Can't believe they dared to roll that under the lights for some pictures, let alone the V12 badge pic with swirl marks all over the paint and grime stuck behind the badge. Just mad.

You'd have to really want the 750 given there are loads of lovely looking 728s and 740s knocking around for half that and another lower mileage, stunning looking 750 for the same price as that shed in the link.

Yup; as I said on the Barges thread; it's a £3k car every day of the week (its a 750i, so it'll never sell for 728i money)

But look at the amount of work it'll need to be presentable and then look at the work needed that Sreten of @m539_Restorations has done to the V12s in his ownership; to bring them up to spec!

The seller of said 750i is massively deluded (probably sniffing glue too)

[uk66fastback]

That phone is literally THE best thing about that BMW!

[Fun Bus]

The 750...

IF it was mint, clean, wanting for nothing and cherished example with full BMW or decent specialist history, I think it could he a £12k car. Really I do. But, let’s be honest, it’s not been loved in recent years.

I do wonder if it's actually a typo. Some of their other stock is not unreasonable at all.

The '1' at the start couple be a fat-finger moment, I suppose.

You'd need another £10k to make it presentable...(that different colour bootlid is comedy!)

Old model 760 at least 20k over priced.

That's a weird one, isn't it. I wonder who the market is for it. It's a bizarre (run-out?) special edition with a stupid name, aimed at people who can afford a chauffeur, but want to save maybe 20k by not buying a new one. I wonder how much each of the 1,400 miles it's done have actually cost. And if someone else is doing the driving, how much do you care that it's a V12? And if you're an upwardly mobile private hire firm that's inexplicably buying one of these rather than leasing, presumably you'd rather it was run in, and/or still in warranty. Odd. I do have some sympathy for whoever had to set the price.
