Very nearly bought this TB machine last week.
« on: 23 March 2020, 14:59:03 »
......so much so that I actually left  a £1000 deposit......which, luckily for me, was refundable.

The spread of the Coronavirus made me reassess at the last moment despite a good price for my XFR. Lovely car but I think I made the right decision and hope to pick it up a few months from now at a 'much reduced price'

My guess is that there will be some motoring bargains around in the near future. :y

I agree. But it has a certain 'beaten with the ugly stick' appeal. Much like the Jensen CV8. :y

I suppose I like it because it is not generic looking like the German opposition. :)

Hell, yes. :y

One year and 10 months old.  Lost about £50000.

I wouldn't consider a new car.
