I was looking at an E30 320 convertible and notice the smaller had this too. 

Maybe a replacement for my knackered old Disco 3 as a run around but probably too good for that

Only 3 or 4 miles from me if you want someone to take a look for you.

I have to admit to looking at E30 convertibles recently. If I didn't already have 2 classics I would get one. Just not worth the "why did you buy that, you can't drive 3 cars" conversations.

There is always the counter-argument about handbags........

I’ve been looking for a complementary classic that we can use as a family for a while as the kids don’t fit in the back of the 911 anymore. All my other suggestions don’t go down well with all members of the family (don’t get why the wife has such an aversion to a DS!) but this seems to make everyone happy. 
 

I fear the Volvo may get some stern looks from SWMBO so I will continue to just lust after that rather than suggesting it as a viable option 😌

You like to live dangerously, don't you Ian.

She’s used to it.  In 2000 we had just sold a house and had some profit from it.  I asked if I could use some of it to buy a car, a 73 2.7 RS.  She said no, it’s to much and you can’t live in a car.  I said you can’t drive a house.  She frowned a lot.......

After much searching and finding the one, an immaculate luxury land yacht in the right colour with all the options and some, the sale fell through as the seller wasn't true to his word 😪 

Now searching from the other end of my drool list so really interested to see what this goes for  https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1987-fiat-panda-4x4 

NO RESERVE: 1987 FIAT PANDA 4X4

If it gets to 8k then it would cost 160 quid per hp which is on par with our 911 and the family would still have to get out and push it up hills.

I know people who take those to Africa and have lots of fun.

Really nice - looks suspiciously like the location that Daniel Curnock used to sell his cars from?  He had some lovely cars pass through his hands...

In a different price bracket, I’m struggling to remove this from my bookmarks...
