What is it with thread regulars doing the full-on tease act ... come on man, spit it out!

And with your previous Woody, I'm expecting a slightly left-field choice. Nice work; I'm living vicariously through you lot at the moment so the more purchases the better.

I never like to jinx it. I will say it's rather sensible by my standards.

I don't make the rules, but I'll help you out by letting you have this one.

Chances of that running again are in the slim/none range I'd have thought.

Strongly priced, but tidy looking E430 in a pleasing colour:

I don't read that as Woody having bought it.

Thank you for your input everyone, its made interesting reading.

I'm currently settled on RainExpert 3's in 88 flavour which BlackCircles can do for about £52 a corner, fitted. I looked closely at the CrossClimates which also come highly rated by our informed threadists; they're closer to 70 a corner and only in 92 load rating (in my area at least). It makes quite a difference to the budget when you're looking at 5 tyres.

I just had a look at the spare for the first time - flatter than a witch's tit. I've blown it up and hope its not a complete waste of time. Happy to report, as one might expect of a vehicle of such quality, the spare is a full size alloy, not a can of squirty cream as found in modern offerings.

Unfortunately not. Sadly saloons are simply not practical for me any more.

If that’s all that’s wrong with it, I don’t think it’s as terminal as it sounds.
If my memory serves me right, it’s the popular Lampredi based engine, and so may share same common components as the Integrale, so parts should be plentiful.
I think the bodies on these were galvanised, and didn’t suffer the terminal rot of earlier Lancias.
If only I had the garage space, I would be tempted.

I have a mini fleet policy via a specialist broker which means I can add extra cars whenever. It works out cheaper than having a separate policy for each car. There is a PH post about just this here

Is that with Paceward then? That could be very useful for threadists.
No

Mine is via a broker called

There's no denying the appeal of a rear clock. Can't be too many cars that have that. I guess it's more important in a LWB car where the driver's usually awful green digital numbers are a long way away.

Indeed, it’s certainly cheap enough and a rare car now. From what I understand they were a nice driving car in their day.

On the engine front you could get a new set of rods and pistons made up for very reasonable money these days if there weren't any originals around.

Err. I’ve got a 1983 Ford Sierra and Casio watch.

I think that’s me out.

TBH, that’s a bargain. I’ve been out in mine today and am reminded what a superbly competent saloon car it is. The refinement is sublime. But it’s also great to drive, with crisp and precise steering, a good chassis and a very rigid body shell. The spec on that one is a bit low but what lovely colours. Much less likely to rust, too.

The XJ81 looks great. Please do a readers’ rides thread...
