I had an early e38 (1995) 740i for about 2 yrs, which had over 221,000 miles on it when I sold it and was still very tight and drove superbly. One of my favorite cars ever, the 740 is certainly the one to get imo, I drove a 728 once and it felt much the lesser car. They don't seem to rust, but...

Are you Jeremy Clarkson? Your post certainly reminds me of his 'style'.. I agree about 'green freaks' though, electric is not an answer and the government need to reduce (drastically) the tax on fuel.

Passenger seat now sold! Any offers for the other bits before I take them to the dump?

Front shock absorbers now sold. Still hoping to be able to find a home for interior bits, all offers welcome!

Good original Lotus Carltons are usually at least £16k aren't they? I think it is good value, it's not a lot of money for such a unique and fast car. Probably, be very expensive to maintain tho and will the auto box keep taking the strain?

Trying to tidy up the garage.. I have almost an entire interior for a SWB 300se, in "Velours Light Brown (974)". It actually looks like tan too me. Anyway, I need to shift the following: Passenger seat Rear Seat 4 Headrests 4 Door cards Rear Parcel shelf Rear Speaker Covers 4 Door...

Ridiculous, you spend to much time listening to the media, it seems. The world population is too big for the planet, that is the problem

That is an awful mash-up of a car imho. Totally tasteless It genuinely shocks me that anyone on this fine forum, would want to own such a mess of design.

Now sold !

Hi, I am selling a set of Brand New 'Beru' Branded HT Leads, for Mercedes M103 Engines. IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: This set is missing the 'KING' Lead that goes from the Coil pack to the Distributor! So you are getting 6 new leads (1 for each spark plug), not 7 leads. These cost a...

I actually, cannot stop playing that. New favorite song!

That is absolutely awesome!! I've gained something today, cheers mate :rock::thumb:

Yes! Me too! However, I do put on a bit of 'Ladyhawke' as well... The 80's re-imagined :bannana:

Having just looked at the advert and read this thread, I personally think you got a bargain for £2k. What exactly were you expecting, a new condition car for so little money? These cars were made properly and built to last, they cost the price of a small house when new. I think you are being a...

^^ Pictures are good. Sounds like a great car!

I think it will be an X1/9 and i'm considering one myself now, after this thread! They do look gd and I just about have the space for a 'little pocket rocket' like that. Remember a mates Mom at school had a metalicy wine red one for years, always liked it. Great thread, enjoyed reading...

Had my old w126 about a year now and worked out last night that it's cost just under £2.5k during that time. But that includes, the purchase price of the car, road tax, all servicing/repairs/preventative maintenance, mot, insurance! Everything, excluding petrol. I would call that very cheap...

You need to find another garage. Some one knows how to fix this, for reasonable money. It's just about finding that someone.. Shame to sell an otherwise good car, because of one fault. I've made that mistake in the past and deeply regretted it. Persivere and just trawl the forums, the net...
