Sex type in bASe red with the torqueless wonder engine. For some reason the current owner has spent thousands on it. £1100 Coventry

[grogee]

Are these shiteable now? £3600 feels cheap although I don't want one. Royal Leamington Spa.

Terribly photographed Mister Two in Warwick for £1200. I had a Fun Time in one of these about two decades ago.

This looks absolutely epic. E430 in a fantastic spec from a long term owner in what seems to be remarkable condition, at a bargain price! Absolutely would.

This can only really be topped by an E55 in similar condition.

Not bought by me but

This very specific model is ridiculously popular in Mongolia for some reason. These and Toyota Priuses. Very strange.

TTE style bar is worth £250 straight away, so the car would owe a new owner less than a bag of sand.

Yep, great vans but nearly ended badly the one time I drove one. Our then lodger, now brother in law, was moving out and he was service manager for the local Hyundai dealer so borrowed one of these for the move. Last trip and he asked me to drive it so he could take his Honda CBR600 (I think, long time ago). I was used to Transits so thought nothing of it, until I approached him on the bike, stationary at the first junction and went to brake. Fuck!! Yanked the handbrake on before I punted his bike across the junction. The steering column is in the way between the accelerator and brake, like a 7.5 tonne and I’d not expected that. Close shave!

He's got too many 3s in the mileage - I was, briefly, tempted then read the MoT fail sheet on the gov website.
It's doomed (or a welder's paradise)

745i. I've never even heard of one apparentley it has a turbo straight six!

Proton Savvy - unable to get sprog interested as this is not 'cool'. 31K miles, I like the seller's attitude:

 

£1250. Open to offers but idiots will be ignored. Don’t ask ‘best price’ - make an offer. My best price is 1250 yours is the cheapest you can get. No, I won’t be taking your nan’s mobility scooter in part exchange.

That's amazing, probably the most desirable iteration of the E23, especially with the manual and LHD. Could probably make a healthy profit importing it to Germany.

Am I right in thinking the 745 was US market only? 

[somewhatfoolish]

I vaguely remember a C&SC article, probably by Martin Buckley, raving about the 745 and getting positively tumescent about it only having a 2.8 engine and forced induction.

[Nullzwei]

Wonder if the 745i has a big old KKK turbocharger like its little brother the 2002 turbo. Massive turbo lag. For a 'rust free' car it appears to have a fair bit of rust though. Still a nice old thing.
