It’s a great looking car. It was up in the Shire for a long time, sure I read an old post by Chas about him viewing it too. Supposedly it was originally ordered by the Earl of Seafield.

I remember ringing KGF up about that car around 7 or 8 years ago when they had it. The fact I have never wanted to ever ring them again about anything I'll let you make your own mind up about....... :roll:

I did manage to find out some repair history back then regards tin worm that previous owner had sorted but can't remember where that was. A week later I ended up travelling to Old Colonel cars to collect a very low miles e39 B10 4.6. We came home in rental car as it decided it didn't want to keep the fuel I'd just put in it where it should be.... :hand

Both the e34 and the e39 ended up at different dealers less than month later for almost double what they had been previously so I bought a Porsche.....

Depending on the age, no, I've got one in my 540 that's similar and it's analogue as opposed to digital, which means you're S.O.L.

It's failed twice in 15 years on a leaking fuel pipe??

Advisories tell a story though. Would need careful inspection as with any E34.

Reading it like that made me think - how old do cars have to be now to qualify for lower / free annual car road tax?
