Best smoker barges 1-5 large [Vol 22]

[Crook]

I've just read too much of that already but that's some serious commitment AND then typing it all up!

Also, and most importantly, a lovely reliable SC430 in a great colour.

I've heard this is a good car, gearbox aside

Sounds like the right thread to me

Did the seller mistype the price the same as the text of the advert or why does an XK8 with broken gearbox cost 3 grand?!

Well I paid £900 for it and sold it back to WBAC for £900, and he then won the auction for more than that but a lot less than £3k.

I think that's probably worth not much more than £3k in full working order. He also hasn't mentioned that both rear quarter windows are shagged, an expensive and fiddly fix. I also wouldn't trust the no advisory MOT, although it was a very solid car (gearbox and windows aside).

Martin Luther King's old car, that.

Yeah, it’s an incredible thread and commitment to the cause!

It's nearly Friday where I am. So, have an eight litre Caddy that belongs to the owner of a motor factors around the corner from my office

and a 1967 Quattroporte for sale

I think 1960s Maseratis are sublime, and if I wasn't a we for V12s, I'd buy one and happily let it destroy me financially and emotionally.

[golfer19]

Haven’t checked the mot history.
Looks well for under £2500.

Love the original QP. What a thing.

Good brickwork.

I quite like big American barges.

The seller's description is a wonderful topic to the bilge of AI ads. However, interior wood refreshed and authentic, fifty nine photos and the only interior shots are of the boot!

A 22 grand Maybach 62 for £22k. Surely one for Mr Bolide.


Even a Maybach can't escape being upbadged it seems.

Interesting to see what it goes for. Shame it's black on black.

[anotherswifty]

That’s very surprising but on the other hand what would the market be ?
The number of people to whom dropping 20k with no care on a 20y massively complex car with difficult parts supply is limited, I can’t see the risk/reward ratio being worth it.
I suppose you could drive it until it failed to proceed, then install it as your luxurious garden office as it’s both capacious and v comfortable.
Personally, I’m running a mile, there’s a good chance it’s a scam given the quality of the ad.

Happy Friday losers.

I don't know a lot about those Maybachs but I do know there is a lot of W140 underneath therefore it will be wonderfully robust and stable. Possibly.
