I’ve started to view my retirement income and savings as this. I have as much as I shall ever need , I don’t crave for anything, by the same token, running a nice car that I like is only going to reduce how much I leave in my will. Not an amount I am to concerned about , quite frankly!🥹 I am very cheap to run so a little extravagance here and there is nice.

Up here in Edinburgh, my 31 yr old 240 is LEZ exempt, so it's only the tax bit that is still to come in 9 years. Having a car with simpler mechanics is also an advantage in terms of DIY repairs, although appreciate parts may become limited/difficult to source in some circumstances. Perhaps if you're running one as your *only* car, then it doesn't make so much sense. If running 2 cars, it makes things easier when one is in downtime. My son loves driving the 240 for the attention it brings, and the feeling of driving something different from everyone else. I mean, no-one takes a second glance at more modern mass market car (generally).

None of this titting about with 'old' motors make sense, each to their own and all that.... Would be a dull old world if everyone drove around in a bland motor full of technology that we don't really need or want. Glad to hear you think you're cheap to run Cheers Steve |

Not a common colour, inside or out. Very, very nice indeed. The price, not sure on this one, it’s right , no question.
I’ve heard there’s space at an IP postcode!😃

As you say, unusual colour, but its just a version of the ubiquitous red, also with such a rare interior colour, getting matching trim may be a long search. Well my guess is that the reserve is probably somewhere around £10k , who knows? I am registered with that website, so have just set up alerts. Cheers Steve |
