Spoiling you all this morning with not one, but TWO S-Types to choose from. Still think these represent incredible VFM and the (ahem) Ford V6 is a good unit.

Light blue and cream looks very majestic.

It's a wonder BMW sold a single E39 at all when Jaguar had this executive express for the 21st century on offer.

That dashboard offends me.

The central binnacle actually resembles the Pistonheads smiley face.

An issue with this is that soon enough it'll either be banned or penalised for entering a number of UK and European cities, negating the Grand Tourer aspect of it somewhat.

That is incredibly lovely. Always loved that generation of Espace.

Indeed, but why pick on this sale given its an issue affecting many of our staples? Inc the XJ X350, petrol and derv, I think its the 07 on which is Euro 4 petrol and thus Ulez safe, every E39, every older LR product, etc, etc,

and let's be fair the buyer of a £2500 3.0 V6 French people carrier probably has more to worry about than a £12+ daily charge should they decide for some reason it is the appropriate mode of transport for central London, Birmingham or Bristol (shortly) (Glasgow having put it all back for years, again).

More places will follow, although the Labour Mayor of Bristol is banking on the wealthy residents to buy enough Teslas that his core vote can carry on in their P reg diesel Vectras as total emissions will drop below whatever level to make it acceptable.

I'd really like a spacious family tourer for seven, but at present it's a bit of a research project uncovering the various tariffs or badges required in Europe. It detracts from the spontaneous freedom to travel or alter course, that characterises many of our adventures.

I have no use for it, but I really want that espace.

I'm sorry but has this thread just had a brain fart and collectively liking a 'mums mobile' front wheel drive piece of French white goods on wheels?
They were awful to drive, noisy inside due to the cathedral like acoustics of being essentially a transit van with seats, more unreliable that Oa's jags and its just a bit slowwwwww. Oh and have you ever experienced a more painful auto than what Renault fitted to their late nineties cars?
Hardly smoker material. More dustbin on wheels, or mobile dirt bike garage

Edited to add, I do like the colour

Gets a pass in my book due to velour and the French exemption.

What ended up happening with your LS430 in the end?

Great spot... We're looking for a 940 wagon for my lad. I've let him know

I've been away for a week and had a self imposed internet ban so just catching up.... this thread certainly moves at some pace.

Anyway, I did pass on the above to my son and he travelled upto Perth this weekend and picked it up the scandinavian brick. I will try and get a forecourt shot and hopefully get a go in it

LOL! Can I take that as a "maybe"?!

How's about a 2.5 Safrane, similar colour, if it helps. 99p no reserve. About the correct value then really

I also saw this, and thought of thread. Perhaps it's still Friday in my head.

If you can be patient for a few days, the thread epic will be told.
