Your first post on PH, and it's gold

Fair play, we’re in the presence of greatness.

Please, take my seat. Can I get you a beer?

It's the lower capacity, so perhaps less attractive. If I had purchased it, I would probably let it die gracefully - a death of pattern parts.

A lot of European countries got the 260SE as a base facelift W126, so a 300SE doesn't sound too bad at all. Much love for that.

Gents, I seem to recall on this thread someone recommended a vent-mounted mobile phone holder. If so, please let me know the brand, thanks.

A Mega Mount.

£7.99 on Amazon, or £25 round the back of the pub.

Pinched from the L100NNY thread. Some nice lots coming up at MB World, though not much in thread range

Bad link

Fixed: https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2019-1...

Some interesting lots in there, and some very suspect descriptions.

e.g. "Modern F1 cars have twin turbos and 600hp" https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2019-1...

I have perused and rationalised, for the benefit of this thread:





C215 CL600, 45k, no reserve





Daimer Double Six, Japan import (2012), no reserve, we can but dream





A black on black, P38A HSE 4.6L Rangie one owner from new, 60k, no reserve





Is this a barge? It's a barge - yes, it's a barge. 28k, heated garage, no history nor reserve





E38 740i, 58k, no known faults, no reserve



It's always nice to see a Renault Avantime, 52k, no reserve







MB Pullman, with an interesting configuration, yours for around one quarter of one million

[TurboHatchback]

A 550i Sport touring on 149k, what could possibly go wrong? Probably the only one likely to appear within thread budget any time soon. If it worked and I had any money I'd be interested.

[W00DY]

Excellent selection. That 740i is lovely.

Pullman is magnificent and that Avantime looks terrible with those mods, but should be an easy fix.

[nobrakes]

Efforts much appreciated.

I’ll take

1 brave pill for the E38 740i with the large wall tyres, then

2pills for the CL600

[SpeckledJim]

Jaguar Double Six, please.

[ElectricSoup]

What the hell is going on with that Avantime bonnet? The vents and the decals? Other than that, yes please.

I think we'll have to rock/paper/scissors for it... Or the barge equivalent I suppose - claybar, chammy, spanner?

[wjwren]

any thoughts on a Mondeo 15 plate. I need to sell my bmw 645 for something more practical for kids.

They're good cars, but no replacement for a real barge... A 4-pot diesel is going to feel awful after a V8.

E92's are happily around at that kind of money now - 325 estate? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

Or even a 330i: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

Could also do diesel, but they're a bit more expensive.

What's happened with Ross and the Lexus....I can't bare the suspense.

dealer has got back to me, it's going for an MOT tomorrow and they're going to look at the mirror too. If the mirror can be sorted there and then I will likely buy the car and collect Wednesday. If it can't be sorted then it'll be a case of waiting until it's done.

[Macron]

Excellent, congrats CL216InAYearRoss!

I wouldn’t.

Find an E320 cdi estate in budget. I’m biased though.
