Compared with some of Porsche's paedo grey everywhere efforts it's not too bad. Changing the wheel for a black one would be a huge improvement. Anyway if you think that interior is bad check out this bad boy  www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202009073436708 |

Nah, at this rate I can see me replacing the 320 with a high mileage Lexus LS next year. Then I might've given myself the perfect opportunity to buy a (non-sporting) utility vehicle as well  |

I missed that Disappointingly 99% of these Lexus have a beige interior and the ones that have black leather only seem to have cherry wood which is bogging. I might have to covet some other barge..... |

And I suspect that is a good thing. |

There is an old, lowered V8 LS with an after market rear box that goes past the office regularly. Usually he comes on to the road about a block away and floors it. I have fallen for it a few times and looked out to see what was making such a great noise only to see it trundling past at low speed but sounding as though it is doing twice the speed.

I think I've caused myself some sort of damage by looking at these because I do genuinely want one now!
I'd even take the 600 Hybrid.
It's all my mate Dave's fault, I've been trying to convince him to buy one for ages now, there was a gold LS430 that came up in Dundee last year and I thought he might actually get it but sadly not.

I don't "do" saloons...... Besides, I would need something that's cheap to run and insure |

I think I've just worked it out - BMW poached the Honda R design team to do the new M3 and M4. |

I'd only buy an M3/4 if it had the full leather dash. It's the thing I regret not specifying on the GC.

It is. But their stock can't turn over that quickly - isn't the S8 on that site one we discussed on here some time ago? |

These are a long-standing guilty pleasure of mine. I remember, many years ago, in the showroom of the local Benz dealer when I dropped off my 190 for a service, having to step away from a Nautic Blue 320 coupe before I spent some money I didn't have. |

That looks like an import from somewhere like Singapore or Hong Kong. |

Very nice, right colour, gold stripes and I like that interior. Those gear change buttons however...yuk |

BMW did an individual interior colour from that period called "Arizona Sun". Looks to me like it could easily be that given how yellow it is. |

Japanese car most likely - quite a market for Alpinas in that era in Japan.

I’ve got a friend who restored a 2002 Tii replica. He says this one comes up for sale quite often, it’s mean to be a bit ropey in person. |
