Would hope that an admirer of the form of the XJ6 would have meant this 635 model! .....

Absolutely. A mate of mine has just bought a mint 1983 one. Not a mark on it. Bodywork immaculate, interior immaculate, 20k miles on the clock.

What's up with me? I'm lusting after a BMW. :o

Kevin


I would certainly agree with that.

I would also mention the 840 as being a BMW that one could justifiably seek and maintain some semblance of dignity.[/quote]

The 840 right now is ridiculously cheap - if you can afford to buy a good one (and £10K easily does that), keep it garaged and well fettled, it will surely give you more than your money back in ten years time. The 840 is a fantastic, laughably under-valued motor, but the trouble with them is that they can now be bought in rough-ish shape for £4K or less, and are thus attracting the crew that are trading up from modifying E36 3-Series, and thus diluting the appeal.... ::)

I'm getting a strong urge to buy a 911  :-/


Are you, erm, how can I put this? of the same ilk as Graham Norton?

What about something a little more manly? Something handbuilt and British? Something that kicks sand in the faces of those feminine little Krout cars?

Interesting, V6, but being the big pansy that I am I think I stick with my matching twin set and Porsche. ;D ;D :y

If you're going to buy a TVR you might as well buy a kit car. They are one and the same IMHO. ;)

Exactly - not really comparable to a Porsche as an overall car
