Ron Noads, he that used to own Crystal Palace FC had one of these new. Has that put you off it yet? So did the late great Alan Clark. |

Some decent tutorials for Alias automotive 2012. I might even get a decent result then.

^ Just one of the car's appealing features...... Along with the pale caramac "wood". And the steering wheel. That really is awful inside! |

Just spotted this on the approved used site usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/201803054274369Not quite the perfect spec as I prefer the look of the M Sport rather than just the 'mere' Sport. However a quick run through the configurator to recreate this got me to £40,610 with an options spend of £9,220  It doesn't appear to have the M Sport suspension which may be a good thing! |

One of the biggest issues with SE/Sport spec is he terrible quality leather on the steering wheel, which would annoy me every day. Other than that and the basic Nav, it’s a pretty decent spec, but if you’re used to Xenons, you’ll be very disappointed with the standard LEDs.

For the comedy value? Or do you need to seek outside help? |

Stop, have a look and a laugh, then forget about them for ever.

Harsh  They seem to be quite popular as a camper conversion, a lot cheaper than a VW Transporter and with the added bonus, potentially, of a 3 litre V6. I think I'm drawn to the oddity of them as a JDM vehicle. I'll increase my medication and see if it helps............. |

Why wouldn’t you...?! Sale or return so seeing what happens, but it’s highly likely to go..... If so, we will be back.
link£7k less than we paid 4.5 years ago, I do love the new 4 pot Boxster!  |

Is it due a service then?
Last one was 14k miles ago.

Leaving it for the next owner, Porsche Silverstone couldn’t fit it in until the end September anyway. Apparently the market classifies it as a high mileage example, as it’s done 60k miles in just over 7 years.... |

Not just high miles but, I expect, hard driven miles, at least for the last 4 (?) years |

I really like the idea of that too. An old V8 rumbles past the office regularly and I always look up to see what it is. |

Simple to work on, with cheap parts. Must be worth a punt. It is very much like the sort of thing that I used to rattle around in back in my Young Farmers days. Fit a big bore exhaust and it will sound like the TVR.

I agree ^. Not bad value at all for that price . And it’s a v8.

It went for £2,850 in the end, which is still good value IMO. I don't know if Mark is able to enlighten us any further on the details of the transaction or when it is being collected...

I think it says it's in Dorset so there could be a forum relay to get it up North.......
