Straight after I've bought a V12, this turns up. Probably even more rare as they never sold them in the UK. Touareg W12 !

I like it less than your Q7 monster.

It'd look a lot better with bigger wheels (paging Nic....)

Also, the Q7 bloody well ought to be better, it was nearly twice the price of this Touareg !

[mention]duncs500[/mention] I have a SELOC account but I've never really used the site. Got a link? Is it Renmure? Also has an Ultima? He has a build thread for a Lister Bell Stratos on ScottishElises but it is a slow moving project.

It's "Dr H", although I think he mentions the one you speak of, is that a white one? Link: https://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=411682

This is also a slow moving project, the thread was started in Sept 2015! :D

Just saw this on a PH article and I have a very strong want for it: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/10701712

I’ve always quite liked the shape of the AMG GT but never seen a subtle one before. This is the non-S, and on those simple silver alloys without body addenda I love it. It’s also a bit of a bargain at £60k with only 6k miles. One to keep an eye on; I have a hankering for an original shape R8 but they’re getting on a bit now and this would certainly fulfil the same want.

That is a stunner. £60k doesn't seem that much does it!

When normal hatchbacks like a Golf start at £25k, it really doesn’t - though I’ve never paid over £30k for a car so it still seems a lot of money in that context 😄

That is lovely. The rest of the AMG GT range always look like they're trying too hard and create zero "want" from me.

Maybe it's just my phone screen but the black looks like it hides the curves a little too much for me. £60k is a bargain though.

I do like them but would have to be an S for me. They seem available for a similar price and also not dissimilar mileage:
