[Neil M]

No - You know what they say about men with big cars, lacking in other areas.

Cesil getting to hard on your old bones then :whistle:

[shimmy]

Thats an old one Yantom not the SPort version, 6 years older than mine so get a proper check on her. Those wheels will be added as not used until 1999. 4.0 litre not 4.4.

So prob a bit overpriced but if it is a good one then why not

[shimmy]

i think id be tempted by this one but at £3k.

If he tell's the wife to be they will do Euro trip in comfort and last minute tell her car won't start so wll have to go in Cesil :wink:

[shimmy]

I think he is going to use it as the wedding carriage :)


Don't rule out 728i Sport Yanto. Not as much power it better mpg and more around. I'd stick to 1999-2001 cars if I were you.

All Paid for mate. Two months ago, I put a score on Brett making St Ives 1st XV....

They gave me 1000:1.....

Loads of leftover spends :thumbs:

Ian, stop mucking about with those flaky 7s and get this already: http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mercedes-benz/e-class/mercedes-w124-500e-saloon-5-0-v8-326-bhp-automatic-lhd-porsche-built-e500/858404

Ultimate 1990's Q Barge :smokin: KGBs choice vehicle with 326 ponies :supz: and build better than a tank :thumbs:

It's BROWN :whistle:

[mattCSLnut]

It's BROWN :whistle:
Admittedly not the best colour for the Iconic 500E, Blue-Black being the choice colour :smokin: but still miles better Barge than the flaky 7 :)
Pic of my one I imported from Germany back in 2007 :thumbs:

[83SY]

Bmw 850i ? One on ebay near me :drool: Any interested & I will have a look before you make a trip down

Not a fan of these. Styling looks 100years old :banghead:

7series looks nice (gangster spec) but 728 will be very steady!

They're not for everyone Sy ;) Looks & Styling are very much in the eye of the beholder + you don't buy the 500E for it's looks, rather for its superior build quality, surprising straight line speed and overall Stealthyness :smokin:
In my eyes, the early E38 7s look like they belong @ the DHSS car park on the Giro day ;) + as I mentioned before they are a bit flaky by comparison to the 500E.
Later 7s (1999-2001) like Shimmy's are a bit better.

thank fuck........for some of us :)

I couldn't agree more :whistle: ;)

[83SY]

I wouldn't be seen dead in that merc :bigcry:
Looks like something you'd expect mike brewer to rock up in!

That ^. Lol

[sfh3l]

I've gotta say that at that kind of money and age I'd be looking for a completelyloaded one with full media pack and so on. They are incredible value (so long as nothing goes wrong that is!).
A mate of mine had a 99 (V) 735i V8 in silver with black leather and electric everything, TX, NAV etc etc and it was a superb car. He enjoyed a number of Le Mans trips in that car. I'd drive down in the E30 M3 S.E. and he'd roll down in that. I'd arrive eyes on stalks and shaking and he'd just be chilled - it's travelling Jim, but not as we know it :supz:
They also had porn on the DVD player, which I couldn't quite match in the M3.........

[shimmy]

But extras are overrated IMHO.........maybe just need heated seats ......... And skibag......maybe seat massager :-D
