Bit of old skool cool. E36 AMG

It’s nowhere near enough for a dream garage, but if you insist…. Bentley Brooklands or Azure at around 110k A really good 560sec wide body replica at 100k (real ones too much money) SL65 Black at 250k Integrale Martini 5 at 130k Range Rover Autobiography at 110k Mclaren 675lt at 250k C124 E36...

What’s he saying? 😂

I haven't decided yet. The SEC is one of my all time favourite cars, but it only has 2,000 miles on it, so its not a car I can use unless I'm wlling to drive the value out of it. It's more suited to a collector, but maybe I'll squirrel it away for the pension and stare at it occasionally.

Bit early to be hitting the booze Bobby :D If you're asking if I have any other Brunei cars, then the answer is the 73 was part of a 3 car deal. The other two are a 560SEC AMG (narrow body) and a R129 600SL AMG. SEC is being restored at the moment and the 600SL is in storage and next in the queue

Thanks Bobby!

This is my car, so I can answer the questions that Doodle has raised. The issue of the mix and match pre facelift and facelift parts has been raised before. You have to bear in mind the car is ex Brunei Royal Family and as such it can't be compared to a showroom model. The family ordered all...

Collecting Cars will be auctioning my 2017 AMG SB in next week or so. Very similar the one linked above. Currently in the coming soon section on their website. www.collectingcars.com

Fortunately, all of the specific 7.3 parts were with the car and serviceable, so I didn't have to find out. 🙏

Hello, Small world ;)

Thought I’d done that. Trying again…..

Thread resurrection and sorry for the lack of posts, but the car did arrive and after lots of delays and hard work to get it right, here it is…. Now has around 1800 miles after a bit of testing to iron out niggles. What a car and what an engine!

I'm fairly sure it wasnt 50/50 or anywhere close. A Shooting Brake is a rare site on the roads compared to the coupe.
