WOODY please stop it. I’ve got five cars already.

I'm sure JeremyH6 is available. It's not another car, it's an investment.

That’s not actually what the 5 stands for, but now you suggest it………

V8 X350 for what they're actually worth here

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202104241...

It's the 3.5, but it has a more "wafty" torque curve than the rev happy 3.0 and of course that lovely V8 noise.

Nice car but it looks like a bit of a Joseph..

I thought at first glance “front wing is painted”.

Then I thought “back wing is painted too”.

Then I thought “no, the wings are original, someone’s smashed the [back] doors in”.

Then I thought “fk it, that’s a nice Alpina”.

This has all the right ingredients for being a rather lovely waftmobile. Decent price, sensible mileage, lovely colour both inside and out, a fairly respectable amount of shove from a well proven engine and sensibly sized tyres with some actual sidewall. Nice. I like it.

Crikey that does look minty.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

It does indeed look rather classy. I like.

Forgive me me for being a few hours early for out of budget diversions, but I thought this might hold some interest for the lovely colours and velour interior.

Yes. Oh yes. That sumptuous velour is all anyone could possibly want.

Flagged by Autotrader as "Exported", which probably explains the 3 year gap in Mot history. Then 3 Mots in 11 months 2019-2020, now being sold with 2 months Mot and no mention of any service history.

But yes, it's a lovely colour combination.

Velour? Hmmm, not so sure. Wool, yes, but velour? It's all a bit Black Tower.

No skin in the game? West of England cloth Sir.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

I love velour. Especially in summer. In shorts.

Who doesn't love the tingle of static, especially at the weekend.

[21st Century Man]

Jacques and Pierre Curie concur.

[W00DY]

I normally love velour, but that Bentley has damp caravan vibes.

Looks like nan's sofa.

Another thing I like about it, takes me back to childhood. You probably had better family holidays than me. Flash bd.

I spent a lot of my childhood in a Devon Moonraker and Autohomes Koncord which were exactly as stylish as they sound.

That's barge-ism, that is.

Sunroof untested? It's not hard to test is it, so assume borked.

It's usually the alarm siren that causes sunroof issues on these. It's sat in the drivers wheel arch and gets wet and needs replacing.

Mine has gone but I've no sunroof so not really an issue.

Well... yeah, but Americans... doesn't count.

Their version of velour brings a brothel to mind rather than a car. Allegedly.
