Front end looks decidedly unhealthy :-\

Be surprised if it doesn't need a VIC... Anyone run the reg through the Dvla car checker?

Assuming you mean the "vehicle enquiry" one - all it shows is that the tax expired last month and the MOT expires next November..

Ok, if it has a VIC marker that shows there as well... Very poor unrecorded diy repair then or rotten bumper carrier :-\

That is not the unhinged supercharged E55. It's just a lardy old V8 with barely 300 pit ponies at it's disposal.

Could be worth a punt at less than £2000 though. ;)

Well, the 'sealed for life' gearbox could fail; the front suspension could collapse due to rust; various electrical/ecu faults; the electronic key will probably stop working; plus all the usual cheap to buy/expensive to run problems that previous owners have avoided by selling the car.
