OV9

For the same money as the Alpine, you could buy a better specced (half price M5 cs) 550 with a v8, or even the outgoing 7 with the same engine.

Interesting proposition. It’s averaged 317miles PA but that’s all track work. So around 74laps of Spa (as an example) per year….

Now you’re talkin’

From the replies;




The targa roof was the same type used on 991s/992s, and, yes, the Concept had a double arse.

That's very... Uh. Unique...

The fact it’s kept in a $10m “garage” does suggest it has been well maintained.

Perhaps the previous owner should consider fitting a dehumidifier in their $10 million garage.

what have you spotted?

The hardware on the steering wheel seems a bit rusty. Perhaps it’s just from bodily fluids.

Ah!

Proper Jaaaaag with V12 goodness and plenty of space in the back for oil paintings that have been borrowed. Lovely interior to impress the ladies you pick up after whafting past the wine bars of Cheltenham.



Car and classic linky

Sundayjumper spec Alpina D3. I know it's only a warm 320d but it looks nice.

I don't know why but the E90's little moustache is way more noticeable to me now than it ever was when they were being built.

I was so close to one of these about 15 years ago, but ended up with a good deal on a 530d lci. The D3 has aged very well imho.

I am seriously thinking about swapping the Z4 for something more b̶o̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ sensible and if that's not bad enough, Im considering a 7 over an m5.

Similar price, due to big discount on the M5 and eye watering discount on the 7. Is it time to start thinking about a buss pass?

Get that XJ12 and save yourself £60k or whatever it is

I thought you had a 7 and hated it and bought the Z4 because you wanted something sporty ?

Your right, there were a lot of things I liked about the 7 but it was a diesel, ive never owned a v8...yet.

Also, my son is about to change his wheel chair for a larger model which won't fit into the z4 boot. We have a senile family bus, but we enjoy our road trips, so Im looking for something with at least 2 seats, decent size (at least 400 litres) boot. I looked at the 240i but too similar to the Z, Id love an S class coupe or even a Bentley GT but there doesn't seem any value in the 2nd hand market, although this could change with the way the things are going.
