Quite a few classic/british cars popping up at the mo - anyone for a red MG what-what?

There's also a decent looking Chim on there somewhere.

Shame the vendor couldn't be bothered to take decent resolution photos of it

And those wheels hurl

Then some loon in an H2 accidently hits you. Strawberry jam.

Or, you're left driving an MG Speedster. Have just had a closer look and those wheels are terrible.

I want to know why there aren't any older Astons?

If there was a 70's/80's V8 Vantage going, I'd be on it like a chav on Ket!

I am with you on that buddy. Proper muscle car. Would love to pull up next to a Mustang or Camaro in one.

Tooling round in one of these would be awesome - only problem is you'd be so scared of it getting parking dings that it wouldn't get much use and I hate the idea of it just sitting on a drive.

I have been searching for something simliar, but prefer the 90's Vantage, 456 or an 850 CSI. Once I move villa and get a indoor garage I will consider another I think.

However, I do like driving my present classic around as it is fun in a very analog way and it has a bit of road presence. Mind you it has taken 6 months to get it to a state where I can drive it every day to work.

Chrome bumper - even better!

Steep price though... and still a death trap.

Too expensive and you're right, wouldn't want to meet a Land Cruiser on a roundabout!

Still, nice to see one about.

Am liking that. Hate those US spec side reflector things but otherwise this looks good. Seriously tempted ...

Might just keep up with a Landcruiser with blacked out windows down SZR in one of these ...

Yikes, just converted that price back to Sterling - "tell him he's dreaming"
