An original 959 interior with the stripes on the seats looks amazing. That is just retrimmed in one colour and less interesting than the factory trim 😄

This had a lovely chequered interior and a Singer badge on the back… checking online shows a 964 (2016)

ETA it’s a Singer

The 964 that's based on will be 1990/91 based on the H plate. So 2016 is presumably the year Singer converted it. I wonder if people will restomod Singers in ~15 years' time?

I’ve learnt something. I hadn’t realised that restomods can come under ‘radically altered vehicles’ and have to be registered as such.

It looks quite shiny in my pic but really wasn’t!

Looks like Monkey might have been driving the Singer. I’ve seen him around a few times

I have finally spotted a 4 banger C63S in estate form. They must have been on sale for 3 years now and that's the first one I've seen!
The C63 has gone from one of the most popular muscle cars to something you just never see now. Wonder if Mercedes regret that or DGAF due to overall CO2 emissions bollocks.

They should have just registered AMG as an independent manufacturer and used whatever loophole RUF/Ferrari/Lamborghini use to do away with the co2 shite

Silver 3 door first shape 1series 130i with an evo sticker in the back window. Looked very tidy and sounded good during a couple of spirited acceleration moments.

Saw my first W206 C63e today in the Tesco car park. First one I've seen in the wild. Saw one last month at the dealer whilst my car was being serviced.

New M5 in black near Trafalgar Square. Didn’t look too massive, didn’t look that special either.

I always fancied one of those. I'm not sure about now but they had a bit of a surge in popularity and were commanding strong money a few years ago.

Saw a blue one in Windsor, definitely has a certain heft to it, but also saw a 520d that also looked as heavy so guess that’s just part of the 5-Series design these days :? Still zero want

Saw a new m5 in north tees hospital car park this morning, in this green

The rear bumper indents that house the reflectors look like someone pranged the clay model and they just rolled with it

Saw one at a dealer and I’ve seen a few standard ones around. I like the styling, very imposing.
