In good condition that would provide a nice retirement. It was red, series 3. I traded it in for a very decent deposit on a house, probably sensible at the time! Lovely car and very special in its day, but I think if I had a go in one now I'd find it unrefined even in comparison with today's medium family cars, and probably not much better performance that many half-decent modern cars.

It would though be worth several million quid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting up towards six figures, but if you wanted to pay several million I'm sure someone out there will oblige! With hindsight the house ended up a better investment, and I had just as much fun!

I'll say it again,50/60 is fine on the parkway, full stretch, in my opinion. I don't want to support anything, as unlike you, I don't think that my driving skills or knowledge are above such decreases. 50 would be fine. Who set NSL? Experts ? Nit picking at its finest. Again, all in my own opinion (disclaimer just for you) South Yorkshire Police to crackdown on speeding drivers. Joanne Wehrie, South Yorkshire safer roads partnership manager said, our message to drivers is that the speed limit is the ABSOLUTE maximum, and doe"s not mean that it is safe to travel at that speed, even in good conditions.. Makes my steady 50 look OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes my steady 50 look OK. Nice selective quoting used there. Quote “Our message to drivers and riders is that the speed limit is not a target – it’s the absolute maximum and does not mean that it is safe to travel at that speed in all conditions. Factors such as the weather, the state of the road and the time of day should be considered when choosing what speed to travel at. If you kill or seriously injure someone because you were driving too quickly, you will have to live with the long-term emotional consequences.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
