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

Can add that to my "cars you didn't know existed" list. Quite a handsome brute that. Big miles mind.

I see that our old pal JOB, who's abandoned us seemingly, has been having serious probs with a BMW 3 Series Touring, very similar to the one I've just ordered. Bummer.

His thread in GG is worth a read.

I wouldn't have wanted any new car back after that dash out job; it will never, ever be right ever again.

Yes a bit of a nightmare, and dealers wonder why the trade has a bad reputation.

In other news I have had a text from the garage this morning and the CL springs are on their way from Ze Fazzaland

Morning all

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.

Interesting handbrake.

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.

Not all of us are successful international swordsmen like you Charles and so I'll allow an index finger inserted into a ring. Erm...

S500 on car and classic, may be of interest to someone.

A bit early in the day for me

Happy Friday all.

I might want to change the colour of the Webasto, but otherwise I'd be very happy with this at 3 x thread.

XK150; no divided screen.

Impressive Jag knowledge.

Was there an XK150 in a Directors Cut or Redux of Apocalypse Now, in the scene with the Colonial French and the chap in the white jacket?

I'd be interested to know how it's got a reversing camera, that looks oem, something I wouldn't mind on my W220. I didn't think they had ever had them fitted.

Well finally got a flier on a Friday, happy Friday everyone

In more prosaic news, the LS is in the hands of the CT (MOT on steroids) testers this afternoon. That could potentially take the shine off dinner.

Passed. No advisories. I love an old Lexus.

Definitely an excuse to celebrate, but I've not yet decided whether or not to do it a phil_cardiff stylee:
