j_jza80 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 VW Corrado VR6? Feels special, lovely growly engine, lovely interior, handles/rides soooo well. Has an electric boot spoiler too Will seat 3 in comfort, and has a large boot. Pretty good on fuel too Otherwise, a Jag XJR, or maybe a 540i.

Havard Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 For 400 notes you could afford to leave it there! Lovely car though as you say. My uncle Stan used to have a 635 CSI Alpina back in 1983. Brand new, Y reg. Absolutely terrifying acceleration for it's time and felt like it was "floating" on the motorway. He died in 1990 aged 45. I always said if I found his old car I would buy it and do it up. I wonder of it is still in circulation? The number was ARC354Y. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
