Not an 8...but wow!

  • Just thought I'd share this beast with you guys. My mates Dad just picked one of these up. I have never seen one before and my oh my it looks and sounds great!!











    Notice the 8 sitting quietly in the background, which if I don't mind saying so, still looks fabulous even against such a modern car. The timeless design of the 8 series lives on. :top:

    :winkwink:

  • Holy sh*tballs! That's a peach. 6.3 litre? That must have cost a few pence!
    Nice however, very nice indeed.
    I agree entirely with your sentiments about the 8 though sparkles - it's a timeless gem, an absolute beauty!

    I think I prefer the previous SL model mind you - the new one is a good bit meaner looking but the "old" version, I reckon, is a tad nicer.....


  • I'd actually have to agree.


    The only car I would have other than the 8, dare I say it, would be an SL55 AMG. Great all rounder and can be had for not too silly money.


    Couldn't bear to get rid of the 8 though. They are just too rare and it still makes me feel special every time I drive it. Its definitely got the X Factor.

    I saw this Aeromax outside Halfords the other day...


    Now the back does not look too bad but they just F($£*D the front as if it's been smacked by a giant kipper....
    Awful looking car...


    Merc not bad though. Would not have one even if I was stupid though!! :laugh:

    Sorry but I'd have to agree with Schnitz on that, the Morgan is quite simply dreadful. I used to be into classic cars in a big way but even then I didn't go for Morgans. They are in realtiy bloody awfully designed and bloody awfully built. Still, whatever floats your boat...
    I do like the AMG SL though - had a duel with one of them on the A8 Autobahn - not much of a duel as the AMG is rather quick :)

  • Not my definition of beauty either (especially from the front), though I have to say it looks a lot better in the flesh. Rare, too.
