Why bother with a fibreglass one, when there are so many real live ones available?

A real one would piss in the living room.

I'm afraid to admit I briefly considered getting it, until I saw the price. I  already have worse things in the house and I think it would look quite smart at the head of the table if I had a dinner suit made for it.

that does seem like a probable last chance to get a 130 coupe for borderline shite money, even if it does look awful in red. I bet you could find an engine cheap with a bit of patience. Or you've always got the VM 2.5 Diesel fallback option.

I reckon a nice VM four-headed monster would drop in there easily enough.  Style with economy - what more could you want?

97 E430, long MOT, £1200. This seems like a bargain barge.

I would lose the mono blocks for something more discreet, but otherwise - its perfect!

I’ve just come here to post that, seems immaculate. Not much detail about respray though. I keep going on about now being the time to buy aW210, maybe I should put my money where my mouth is.

An E430 is still the fastest car I've owned (yeah yeah it's not that fast whatever) but I was a little disappointed in how it didn't sound fast, it just kind of got to speed with no fuss whatsoever.

Cheaper vet bills?  Reduced stable costs?  No need for farrier house calls?  LESS POOP

Biodegradable.

You're buying a clothes horse.

Seems weird for the seller to get so far with it and then decide to sell it, even if they did buy another car. Maybe I am just a little too suspicious.

A very fair point.

Mrs. Welded cannot believe that I am now browsing Irish tat - thanks for the links to donedeal.ie chaps! Being tight as feck I started from the cheap end and found a proper nice little motor, - automatic, shite colour, ace! Only 35,000 km and €600

You'll find shite in higher engine capacities to be very cheap in Ireland. 

Motor Tax is prohibitively expensive for a 2.5l for example is slightly higher than €1000pa. 

Smaller older cars tend to hold onto their value even better as they're cheaper to tax.

That looks decent value.  @Spottedlaurel, fancy another one for the collection?

One and another for spares is enough for now, but thanks! That one looks quite decent, usual comment applies - if anyone buys it I'm happy to help with bits.

That's nice, and close by but the description is uniquely annoying. 

Plus there's an MOT advisory some time back for "perished rear tyres". How the fuck do your rear tyres last long enough to perish with a 4.3l V8?

Apologies for dragging up an old post, but does anyone remember anything about this car when it was for sale on Carsandclassic? 

Its now in Dublin, priced at €3500. I recognised the primer around the arches etc.

Did you buy it?

Yes, it was a no-brainier when I looked on eBay at what 18” AMG Monoblocks are going for. 
See what you mean about being quick but undramatic.
