13 minutes to go, and I'm choosing my moment. Don't want to leave it too late. Do I bid low or go straight to what I'll pay? Hmmm.

 

If this falls through, then option two is still quite nice (the Ti).

£200 and five minutes to go? This is better than the whole Olympics put together*. By far. I'm going watch the auction, live.

 

Apart from the ropey arch, that's flipping lovely.

 

*in all honesty, I don't like sport much

What I love is that it's in the same number plate sequence as the first car pictured in this thread, and therefore the first (and only) 600 I've ever driven. ACE!

Or drive the colt to me I will take you to Oxford. After I have test drive the colt for a bit I will store it in the field of dreams while you sell it, if you like?

 

Kind offer, but I've booked the train now. It was only £37.

 

 

Or if you can get to Chris's for tomorrow by 7am I could run you up to wycombe for Marylebone or Maidenhead for Paddington... Ill be at work otherwise

 

Ha! You're funny! That would mean leaving in a few hours' time.

I very narrowly bought a 618i a few years ago. I had my Puma for sale and had no biters, and saw it - reasonably priced in that lovely nightfire red, red key still in the packet, rover touch up pen, and low mileage with a full ticket.

 

I finally sold the Puma and headed straight for the garage, but it had sold. I was truly gutted. I bought my 75 in retaliation and enjoyed that instead.

 

Now you've reminded me of how much I like these, damn you!

I would seriously recommend that someone nabs that £500 Ti on Gumtree. That's a hell of a car for the money I reckon. 

 

It's afukin steal, don't recall seeing one come up in halfway decent shape for a year or two.

Top biddage :) The only experience I have of 600s is an old work mate had one. He had it forever. It was a diesel and sounded absolutely bloody appalling, like a proper old fashioned diesel should. He must have had it for a good ten years plus with absolutely no bother then his wife started the nagging and he got rid and bought a new car. Within a week they both wanted the old 600 back but the dealer had sold it.

 

He was gutted....
