Tsk tsk, you are clearly a number plate obliterator, but you seem to have forgotten to obliterate the plate on the silver merc . i expect awful things will happen now.

That is one seriously clean car buddy , excellent work . Hard to believe it’s 12+ years old

13 this December, it was so clean and well maintained I had to buy it , not that I need it to be honest ,
But it’s a change ,will have to sell one
now if I am keeping it.

Your right about the M I agree ,
A few who saw it passed comment it’s badged up to m sport but was a se With bits added etc. that’s why I put the v5 on . A M8 4.4 600 bhp would be nice but it’s out of my budget by a long way. Lol.

First day it’s been dry enough to get it out and get the roof down to have a we check over , then 10 minutes later
it started to rain.

Nice car , it just goes to show that there is no need to purchase a newish car to get a decent looking motor now-a-days.

Just one thing though , can you tell me where you purchased the string of sausages that you use to keep the garage door open.

Was it Screwfix or Pets @ Home ?

Beautiful car, great colour. I'd have snapped this up if I'd seen it advertised. It looks like it's been loved. How many owners? How many miles? It'll be a wonderful car for the summer. Happy Birthday again.

David prentice cars ,his wife drove for 2 yrs then one more owner , it has
75000 mls , 2 yrs ago David last owner got bmw to fit those new alloys
as the old 19” ones were prone to crack these don’t apparently, he also got them to do all bush’s front and rearwith new shocks all round and it’s a full bm service history all stamped up to date. It was in a 15000 mls service schedule but apart from the first one it got done every 7-10000 mls. So hopefully all’s good for few yrs.
