    The Alfa is ace.

    But if you want something more practical in winter, you should get a Caterham

    Thanks. So they give you a guide price or tell you what similar cars sold for in the past 30 days?

    They give you the guide price- and they guide priced is based on what a similar car has sold for in the last 30 days.

    A lot of cars won't have a reserve too .

    Superb duo. Would be interested to hear how you compare the S1 and the 4C - the same design philosophies, but from different generations..

    Thanks - based in Ireland though, we don't see anywhere near as many exotic cars these days what with being taxed up the wrong 'un for anything that doesn't do 50mpg+.

    Not a patch on the metal in here, but I've just purchased this, very pleased with it. It comes with the smallest of engines but it does me just nicely:

    I was going to ask a very similar question! That 4c does look lovely, but I'm always biased towards a Lotus.

    Not unless the fix has been carried out. Lots of the CSL lot managed to get it sorted under warranty before the 10 year limit ran out.

    Otherwise, it is a fairly common fix to carry out. There is a preventative measure that can be taken (IIRC, involves filling the area with a particular expanding foam) but it sounds like yours is too far gone for that.

    I just got this a week ago. Love it to bits. Got it dirt cheap too. 1.9 85kw diesel. Not much, but enough for me. I am a student so this is like a S class to me.
    Now onward to finding out why it was so cheap altough nothing seems to be wrong so far (fingers crossed).

    The Merc 500E. Great car! Built on the Porsche line in Stuttgart. I drove one once - hoot of a motor.

    I've always wanted a 500E. Amazing piece of machinery, I had to settle for a 190E 2.3-16. It's the car I miss most

    As requested, a couple more pictures.

    I'll get round to doing some decent photos when I get time, hopefully this weekend & do all of the others too.

    This arrived Monday morning....



    It's a bit of a hi-tech gadget fest inside & (of course) I haven't opened the instruction manual ...but so far I'm very impressed.

    I will be interested to hear how you get on with this. Mine is on order, I'm guessing you went for the executive edition, which is what i have coming.

    I got it mainly for tax reasons & was fortunate enough to get a budget for Luxury spec with a few extras. Basically, it's similar to the Executive spec but with the premium heated & vented seats and premium nav system added. I drove 120 miles on the M5/6 on Monday - lovely ride quality and cabin ambience - and it's averaging 47mpg. So I'm pretty impressed so far.

    I have 3 failings in life (my wife would suggest many more :) ). An addiction to audio & music, watches and most expensively cars. This was taken the way home from collecting our new M5.

    I used to drive a 986S with a Techart power kit fitted, was LOUD! But for sheer noise I took my VX out yesterday for the first time in weeks and every time I do the noise always surprises me haha.
