Mrs Opti's RX-8 has gone.
« on: 27 November 2012, 20:37:09 »
........sold for £6650 to a very nice chap from Aberdeenshire. He caught the train at six this morning and arrived in Sleaford at four this afternoon.
So I now have a little spare cash. :y :y :y Mrs Opti wants a new kitchen, but I have already dismissed this idea.

I'm thinking future classic. :) A motoring investment. :)  Perhaps I'm crazy. :-\

But remember. They couldn't give away the last real AC Cobra to leave the production line in 1968......or the final V12 E-Type in 1975. They were heavily discounted in order to clear the decks for the svelte new XJS ::) ::) ::) ;)

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.  :y

Monaro's are getting affordable now. Might be worth tucking up for the future while it's still easy to get parts. I got the LC a little to late. Even 5 minute fixes take weeks as you can't get the bits straight away

Well, I had a lengthy telephone conversation with the owner of this who then sent me a load of photos .
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stunning-BMW-635-CSI-Silver-blue-cream-interior-Rust-Free-Much-work-done-/281025209432?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item416e686458
The car looks straight & very nice although it has had work done on it in and around the sills + arches at some point, but all of them will do . The interior is Lotus white from a later car but if you can live with such a light colour it's OK. The M30 engines are unburstable . I'd say it's a £2.8 to £3.2 K car , if all is well.
I'm a recent convert and have to tell you they are smooth and powerful.
He's currently in Africa on business , back on the 30th.

Love both of those - Rover 90 in particular has good memories for me ( as does Humber Super Snipe)
