That's exactly what I was talking about, I love that interior buuuuut it appears the photos have had some filter applied to enhance the colour - I suspect in real life they are not as impressive. And it's on collecting cars - their suggestion that it should prove to be reliable is laughable, as they have no idea - it's been 10 years since "the owner thinks" the cambelt was changed and it's a very old, high power Volvo with an autobox.
Tempted but you'd have to go in with your eye wide open on a Jap import with unknown history.
My feelings on CC are that they have some lovely looking cars on their site but I'd not but anything of them without being able to check it out properly...as there is seemingly no come back to them. They must take their cut and their off.Tempted but you'd have to go in with your eye wide open on a Jap import with unknown history.
I think if you're selling, then they are great for you.
The 520i touring they're selling is currently sat at £650 with the auction finishing on Friday....

He sells lots of interesting stuff through eBay - especially Defenders, but also the occasional e24, which means I've spent more than my fair share of time ogling his wares. He comes across as an honest seller, with years of good reputation, helpful road-test and walkaround inspection videos (long before they became all the rage), and generally gives the impression of being 'one of us'.
Which (to my eyes at least) only makes the decision to punt this through CC look more suspicious.

Wronger than wrong could possibly be. It is being fixed, however. To give you a flavour of how wrong: there was no oil in the differential (as in, somebody forgot to put it in when the car was restored); there are (big) leaks of petrol, engine oil, gearbox oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid. Fixing it all will cost less than one quarter what it costs to service the (immaculate) Ferrari.
Oh dear, I seem to remember you said it was from a recognised specialist as well? Bad ones do creep out it seems.Still pining for a 550/575?

Yes, still pining for a 550/575. Although the costs of a full but essentially unremarkable service are eye watering. Five figures of eye watering. I really enjoyed driving it for a few days before pressing it into the care of the main agent. I took my boy to school in it twice, on each occasion greeted by the not unfetching (and blonde) headmistress with more the usual warmth. I parked it across two spaces in my office and attracted a truly offensive note from a colleague which I was then able to publish in our Teams group, thus letting everyone know who brought the Ferrari to work. And best of all I overtook that woman on our urban motorway, drawing alongside, tooting the horn, dropping from fourth to second, almost losing control as I hoofed into the distance. (I like to think that she was impressed and rued the day she dispensed with my services, but I dare say the truth is she thought, "What did I ever see in that prick?")
This is what a single-sex education does to a man.

According to the CC listing, the seller is Motordrome of Henley. These guys, I'm guessing: https://moto-drome.com/about-motodrome/current-sto...

There's a PHer who paid a big chunk of cash for another Japanese R on CC recently so perhaps he's testing the water to see if it's a more lucrative platform. I'd definitely be tempted if selling the right kind of car.He sells lots of interesting stuff through eBay - especially Defenders, but also the occasional e24, which means I've spent more than my fair share of time ogling his wares.
