Thread budget+Wheel refurb back to silver+tint removal superbarge. That's a hell of a lot of car and performance for £5K! Apart from airmatic woes, can someone please list the reasons why I shouldn't buy one of these?

Rust rust and possibly rust

I like the car. What's wrong with the highlighted buttons? I can see that the mirror needs adjusting or paint, but the buttons look fine to me. Obviously you wouldn't be able to see them at night though.

On a bigger screen I can see why they were highlighted ('stitched') by 0a now.

On account of it being Friday



Bit.... “flamboyant” but what a cruiser

Best one this week.
Helps that she's in a proper motor.

I'd guess an XK120.
Could be a 140 I suppose, difficult to tell which from the swoop of the door.
In fact, could well be a 140.

That broken down E38 feeling...

If only she'd spent the money on a cooling system refresh instead of that awful colour-coding.

I like it, but I'm not sure I'd choose to own one in that colour.

XK150; no divided screen.

It’s definitely a “strong” colour. I think I like it. Ikon gold I believe it’s called. The one MOT entry doesn’t sound brilliant though and suggests potential corrosion issues.

In proximity to the knob too.

It all looks very snug in the cockpit.

Looks like it could use a fair amount of love.

Good man. The door line didn't look straight enough for a 150.

This is probably 'jumping the shark' or something, but I really dislike rings on an index finger. For that reason it's a no from me, despite the nice legs.

A thumb ring means she can suck a golf ball through a hosepipe.
Toe ring means hairy armpits and Greenpeace tendencies.
Not sure about an index finger ring...

Have we had this?

Only £6995, I think £6000 would take it! A shame that it is silver
