Get it bought.

That is lovely and only 15mins up the road, but if I was spending £15k on one I would find the extra and get a Sebring

You'd be unlucky to get a speeding ticket in a Midget as well. Unless you put a K Series in one, now that would be entertaining

Just picked up my car from MB World, Historics have an auction tomorrow so I had a nose and some of the lots. Some nice stuff going through mixed with some proper money pits. I'll post up some links later, if anyone wants an XJS there's a bucket load going through!

I had to google. There were only 71 of these GLtds made.

It’s the first thing that springs to mind for me when a Q-car is ever mentioned. 5-dr, narrow-body, single-lamp Mk2, hand-built by the Motorsport division. Was also the most powerful Golf produced until the Mk4 R32 appeared many years later

I think I may have been offered one at some point. I didn't realise how rare they are.

As I mentioned yesterday, I was at MB World collecting my car and checked out some of the cars that were going through the Historics auction today.

This was lovely, looked a very well presented thing

This was gorgeous, and I bet it sounded epic!



www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2019-05-18/car...

This was far worse than it looks in these photos. The doors were tucked inside it as it looked like they'd fallen off the hinges, there was hardly any floor inside the car, or the boot. I know it's a Cooper S, but £19k! Bonkers

When did these become so handsome? I always thought they were the ugly ducklings in the prancing pony stable, but it looked lovely

This doesn't feel like a lot of money for something that's rarer than a rare thing.

Interesting, thanks sm!

As an aside, anyone know what the ‘40’ and ‘60’ symbolise for the G-Lader superchargers?
