Hmmm me thinks someone made a mistake with the listing, either that or Lotus Carltons are a better investment that gold bullion?

Sticking zero on the keypad :roll: Their feedback score or the care in prepping an ad doesn't inspire confidence for the sale of a £1.8 million motor. :damnfunny

If it's a good one then 18k as not bad.
Trouble is there aren't many to choose from and they have all had a hard life!
Quite a lot of bits are NLA too.

V10 M5s are temptingly cheap at the moment. Filling them up and fixing them remains stratospheric however :damnfunny

Very true, and has been the case for many years now, as I did much homework a while ago, and shat it :blackeye
