Sadly not - I am still doing a lot of miles private and business so it’s an oil burner - they are silky smooth though and surprisingly speedy with a 0-60 of 6secs

I'm sure that car was for sale recently. Remember reading about the Abba connection

EDIT: It still is...

I hate the line: "ready to be enjoyed OR added to any collection" (my emphasis).

Not that long ago no one wanted them for £10,000 along with other cars from that era.

But that one fell apart on Top Gear! With this COVID19 business, cah will be king and I think prices may drop a little soon...

£85k for a Merak, they must think we have just stepped off the train! I’ll let you guess at which station.

Saw what you did there

If it needs a bit of a refurb maybe it will turn up on Car SOS

This one just sold for £66k at Silverstone, which seemed reasonable in the current market. They are beautiful cars, but I am biased.
