The bank normally! Should have bought that R11 which Bramz was selling.......

Fucking hell, been checking out on the net and you were right, I were wrong. R9 & R11s now selling for real money - who would have guessed it 10 years ago?

And what is wrong with that? All that is missing is a front grille....

Their ridiculous proportions - ie length = width x 10 make these feel like driving about in a Glasgow Underground carriage.

Between about 1990 - 2005, these became synonymous with OAPs - Old Age Poverty sufferers! And anyone old enough to remember them when they were current will have a hard time shaking that image!

It's one of them mate - an interesting old car which technically should be worth your asking all day long. BUT...hard to reconcile myself to the fact that I would have been paid to take it away 10 years ago / could buy an MOT'D Vel Satis for £500. £675 a bit too cheap you say? Probably not. Imho, this is gonna command £600 once bargaining is allowed for. GLWTS - why not keep it?

Oh, and one more thing....can you not get the necessary parts to rebuild the Solex?

Sorry to be a pain Jumkman, but can I just ask why you are not rebuilding the Solex? ????

Well considering that a EML illumination = MOT fail nowadays, a simple and basic car should / could become a valuable commodity! What became of the R18 American btw?

A happy retirement is a Proton on your drive!

You'd have done a lot more damage if you had hit the badger!

Could be worse, the RX8 was sold with mpg figures for oil!

Is it one of those special Mercedes oils made from Unicorn piss at £82/litre + VAT? The annoying thing about the oil change in most cars is the very fact that they take 4 litres. So you always have to buy 2 bottles because you need the other for top-ups down the line or one bottle only takes it just past the bottom line. So with a 6 litre sump, you also need two bottles, and have 2 litres left for the top ups.
