Like that. What a surprise - big expensive house, tastefully done, in presumably a rather nice area, with a glass wall to the garage*.

*half of ground floor of Coach House

[mik]

So it’s effectively a single-garage property, and that’s a “display” garage?

I think I’d make the ground floor all garage, and use the upstairs as an office.

Who was it that was getting rid of their 550i? Replacement?

Ive been without the 550 effectively since he sale was agreed mid sept, really starting to miss going for a drive now as the other cars in the house are white goods.

Just looking at the merc on their site, what a waste its almost like looking at a time capsule to 2010!

Agree. It does indeed look immaculate, but having averaged 100 miles a year since new, you're not going to buy it and put 10k PA on it are you?

"A rare opportunity to experience a W212 as it left the showroom."

Yeah because that was such a rarefied and exclusive experience back in the day. The utter pish some of these dealers talk, it's a fucking 15 year old E-class with a big engine mate, get over yourself.

You should be in car sales

As you can probably tell, sales and marketing isn't my strong suit

Im a big fan of the rx8 and Mazdas in general, would be tempted by Ione of these just for the revs and a late R3 as they are slightly less problematic that the others.

Old video now but you get the idea, LS everything

No more seal or injector issues, insurance can be cheaper for modified cars too, perfect.

I think it's still cheap enough to. Compare it to other V8 luxo barges with that mileage.

Luckily Mercedes had stopped using biodegradable wiring looms by 2010

Issue 339 of EVO should get some/most of us salivating..

[mik]

That feature triggered me to buy a copy of evo for the first time in about 2 years…..

Back on topic - ScottA sent me the link to this - feels like a lot of car for £17k (haggling).

Those light covers would be straight in the bin

Very much so. Rest looks good.

ScottA and I have discussed several times that one of these would make an interesting track toy.

You’re never going to be the fastest car on track, but 200bhp in a tweaked MX5 should be plenty quick enough to be entertaining, whilst being easy on all the consumables.

Wasn‘t this one about £6-7k? (six seeeeeven)

i know the £17k one has a lot more ponies and is a newer model, but £17k is proper money compared to £7k play car money.

Yes to all of that. And the black cat looks way too clean to just purchase as a track toy.

But <sniff> evonomics innit?

Wonder how much this supercharged one will go for? Unfortunately it's not the Corten Miller conversion reviewed in this so thirty less ponies:
