Black E55
Just get this, it will have the best V8 noise you'll ever want, it will keep pulling until you have to lift and the engines and gearboxes are known to be very robust.
Also it's cool as the proverbial Fox's glacier mint without shouting about it.
That's a nice motor...but does having a bald Landsail tyre fitted and driving only a few hundred miles per year (recently) hint at meticulous care or no care whatsoever plus too much time off the road getting fixed?Just get this, it will have the best V8 noise you'll ever want, it will keep pulling until you have to lift and the engines and gearboxes are known to be very robust.

However, I'd love to see it given the Derin treatment and re-listed at a suitable premium.
I loved his photo-journal detailing/restorations of various BMWs all those years ago.
Ref the E55; I’d wager it’s got a lot of deferred maintenance but the fundamental parts are generally very reliable and even with some modest effort to improve the paintwork it would look immensely better.

Ex Roald DahlThis needs to become a new thread trope.
No longer good enough to post a barge, it has to have a registration that we can spuriously attribute to a ‘personality’ (dead or alive).

He's definitely downgraded his photo locations. Cost of fuel even hitting our favourite lover of since-renamed parcel delivery companies.
I recognise the seller name kind of? Has he appeared on here before? I quite like this.The cars are generally always immaculately presented but there appeared to often be judicious use of the white balance/exposure setting to significantly brighten interior shots.

The 210 we had was massive inside if a little slow with the 170bhp 6.
I have just sent mine away on a trailer to be broken for spares - I will put the story up on the shed thread - but I did love the old style turbo delivery: wait for it... wait for it... Thump! It was actually quite spritely once you got above 2500rpm. I am so going to miss that car.dscam said:

Basic but nice, and what an honour it would be to own a car formerly owned by Phyllis Pearsall. Last brand new car she bought.Actually very tempted by this one myself
