Ok, I thought I remembered someone here saying support from MB was waning, I could be going senile.

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


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

"Looks and drives mint" yet "Needs some caring for"

Advert not at a premesis or house.
Parked like a bell end.
2 month MOT left
Warrington.
Potato-quality photos.
No photos of the dash showing any (or no) warning lights.
And menstrual-red interior.

You'd be mental to drop £20k on that.

I wonder if they get as crusty as a w220.

The Maybach is an outstanding Friday barge post.

Not a car I desire at all but I love the idea of them reaching thread territory.

Nice looking S500 BM.

The somewhat modified 280 has no CO2 value so could be your ULEZ daily smile

New barge bought! See if anyone can spot why I bothered bidding on an early "Urinal of Technology" interior S-Type

Rare manual? Was hoping it was a V8 though.

Maybe some AC components for the Aston Martin? Think the transmission would have to come from an XJS to fit.

Speaking of manual XJS, there's one coming up at ACA. Not a massive fan of taking out the wood interior and doesn't have MOT but seems to be running, in the video you can see them smoking around in it. https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/auctions/2763-20-J...

Yep 3.0 manual.

I'd have taken a punt on a 4.2 auto but the 4.0 had a dreadful Ford sourced auto and isn't worth bothering with. It's just old enough to legitimately take me to the Festival of the Unexceptional and then it'll probably get moved on.

Does look good though, 2 owners, last one for 3 years and a bit then traded in to Tesla after doing 10k a year in it, Michelins and Goodyears fitted, nice MOT history, and looks very clean.

I only really bought it because it's a manual.



Whoever did that to an XJS needs to have a very hard kick in the pods from a very big horse, and be forever condemned to driving the Audi hatchbacks to which they are clearly more suited if they think stick on carbon fibre trim is cool. Revolting.

My Dad had a 3.0 manual facelift. That's a neatly square power and torque output when liberated by a stick and clutch at 240hp/220lb ft.

I’m sure a certain demographic would still instinctively cover the brake pedal and switch lanes if you rolled up on them in lane 3 in this…

That's insane. The turbo alone looks bigger than my first flat!
Soooo much want. [Goes to buy lottery tickets]
