I loved them at the time but they have been way surpassed by much better machinery. Sorry I just don’t understand the nostalgia but if You can get them and sell them for a profit who am I too complain. People trying to buy into a scene / CGT free investments I always ask where were these buyers 7-8years ago? I remember a garage in my village ( now long gone) that had a E34 M5 3.6 in the window for almost 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How times have changed. Scratching around for a £150 profit on a p/x p.o.s. Corsa (that I’ve had since time began & didn’t want in the first place) like an old hen scratching around looking for corn. Then the buyer will expect the earth, phone up 2 months later when a brake light bulb needs replacing and finally the VAT man will want a percentage of the few crumbs I’m making. Did I ever say I hate Corsas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
