Another "Martin wants a new car" thread..

[b33fy]

I have put an offer on a car, should hear tomorrow. Needs a little bit of TLC, cambelt, service etc, a nice thing, , also european and I would be surprised if you guess what make AND model it is.

Alfa Romeo 166 with the 3.0 petrol engine - why let a plan get in the way of a car you really want to drive.

We have a.... looser! Lol. Good guess though.

No more clues.

Lexus ls400...dont mind a drink but not as mental as ya think and with the money ya save buying them you can use it on fuel...then when done with it use the engine in the kit rather than keep messing with the rover.

what's about an old discovery...i know where you can put your hands on one.....

anyway.....how's about a new shape saab 9-5? think i'd be tempted!!

You not seen that sticker? “ rather push a Land Rover than drive a Jeep.”

I do like the Saab’s, had a 900 back in the day. Parts availability would worry me, service parts shouldn’t be a problem but other bits might be, I’ve always liked the styling of the 9-3 convertible, did put a bid in, on a very nice TTID aero convertible in black. Private sale wanting dealer money so too far apart on price, eBay no 202142467010.

There’s a nice petrol one in Bexhill, though but not keen on a car that’s lived by the sea.

far as i understand it from a saab specialist the factory still churns out spares or holds spares...i needed something non service related 2 years back and that's when the specialist sorted it ....

Hunt is still on, blew out the car I had made an offer on subject to a new mot. Too much stacking up against it, being an uncared for car for a while with too many owners.

So what was it?

Then you’d have two unreliable cars in your fleet.

Why change the habit of a lifetime.. that reminds me, must post an image in the competition.

V70 d5 Volvo would be a good call

Nice motor, quite fancied it in the C30, clocked a nice one on the bay but it’s miles away.

Found another C30 R Design in white, only 2 hours away, all colour coded. nice thing, hopefully finalising a deal and picking up at the weekend. This one wants for nothing except some 19” rims, privacy glass, remap and vanity plates.. Its a rare manual version as well. Yeh.. don’t say it..knowing my luck probably ex rozzer.
