    Mercedes GLA

    We bought a diesel 220 a couple of years ago to get a bugaboo in. Wife loves it as not too big but a decent enough cruiser. No experience with the 1.3 but what we have feels right.

    Lewis Hamilton F1 Champion 2019

    Interesting to see how this gets picked up in tomorrow’s papers, but my guess barely a mention in comparison to other British sports persons’ achievements. One of the country’s least celebrated greats and all from such humble beginnings.

    Anyone know this Gransport?

    For balance my old car recently sold at an advertised price of £18k. It had tech cloth and 53k but a great colour (med blue) and wanted for nothing.

    Spa F1

    Hi, I’ve booked myself a last minute trip to watch some F1 at Spa. Not been before and staying at CampingF1. Up for grabbing a pint if anyone on here is going and fancies saying hello. Ian

    Maserati Reactions

    Only positive in the Gransport. A positive comment or conversation every other fuel stop. Now I’m in a 993 more mixed which was a surprise as expected nothing but love for an air cooled.

    Very Cheap Strad.

    Suspect just sales tactic so a potential buyer feels there is limited scope to negotiate down. “I’ve already priced as low as I can blah blah blah”. At this rate I might be back in a maser sooner than I thought. Hopefully air-cooled pork hold up a little better!

    Pistonheads recommend buying a Gransport quickly.. at £20k

    Nothing from the MoT would put me off subject to inspecting the work and negotiating new tyres. Obviously I’ve not seen the car so could be other issues.

    Apologies if this car has been discussed before but £16k for what appears to be a UK 50k mile gransport with no reported accident damage?! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173976804764

    Goodwood FoS recommended accomodation in the area?

    On Thursday I managed to book a place on airbnb between Chichester and Bogna Regis only 10 mins from circuit for Sat and Sun nights. Might be worth a look.

    Any one know this car?

    This is my old car and a good one if you are ok with the interior (I liked it). It was owned by another forum member before me who traded it in with Richard before I bought it. Happy to give further details if anyone on here is interested. It was inspected by Lancaster when with them for...

    05 GS Coupe Window Release Question/Issue

    My driver window didn’t work when I bought my car. Had the microswitch looked at which fixed for a period until the regulator failed completely. Neither job was cheap so worth getting someone who knows what they are doing to look at it and check everything is ok whilst the door is apart. Not...

    Arrivederci

    Same. I was 15-19 when these were on the road and still remember a silver one coming past the college one lunch time. Funny how these things stay with you.

    Arrivederci

    Thanks, yes I certainly intend to enjoy her and am confident I won't be accepted by the air-cooled illuminati! She lives outside and as my only car will be doing 3-5k per annum. She's also had some mods by a previous owner to create a 'RS lite' with some choice Carrera S styling changes. The...
