If you did it wouldn't be spare as it would have been spent by now on a flight to Orlando!! 

Some nice stuff in the auction!

[nopanic - neil]

Just checked - Sold for £312 inclusive of Buyer's Premium

Worth looking what the other stuff went for - Luv the Fiat Multipla - 1965 - went for over £10k



and Mark, you right if I had spare dosh I would be on my way to the Sunshine State. Save for next year now.

Just gone through the catalogue, after finding the early lots a bit dull , lot no 68 "a lot of magnetos" I finally made it to the cars, much much better, twas a shame to get to the end. I'd have gone for lot 241 , an 85 M635csi, but would have the Daytona if money was no object at a mere £144,500!

Neil, Timbo from my lot purchased the wheel, unfortunately it went down like a lead ballon with his girlfriend on returning to blighty . Its now gathering dust in the garage. It was going to be transformed into a coffee table. It can be brought back to LM this year if you are interested in buying

You cant beat a wheel coffee table . Wheel is from a GT2 viper Le Mans 03 24hr and the tyre is from a Porsche Cup car DTM at Le Mans oct 06  and the Misses loves it, ideal foot rest in the conservatory

Never mind the M635, you can pick up a 2000 B10 here for about £8000

B10 is a nice piece of kit but they are a pain with electrical faults as proper diagrams are difficult to come by . Having worked for Sytners (UK Alpina dealer) i would much rather have an E39 M5 same money 407 bhp and the best all rounder you will find for the money  The B10 is nice though ; alittle more sort after Plus its auto nice car shame about the box.

I always loved the C2 2.7 based on the E30... but parts prices put me off
A B7S would be fun though.... in a strait line

[redstu]

as a daily car how would an e39 540i compare to an M5?

Like a wife and a mistress... if you get what I mean
