    Range Rover advice

    The chap that owned Kingsley Cars had something to do with Overfinch I think, Damon Oorloff, they may have some records. Certainly the current OF company is not the same thing. Equally I think I heard that there was a fire at some point in the past and records were lost and they may not have...

    Boats - Italian

    Justin Banks tends to carry Rivas in stock https://www.justinbanks.com/sold-stock/ nothing current but a few in the past sold bit. They are very pretty but a Chris Craft would do just as well.

    We went to this last year. He has some fantastic machines and they are just sitting there for all to peruse at their leisure. Well worth a trip.

    Ghibli horn beeps on startup

    Might it be trying to tell you there is a battery on the way out - keyfob maybe, that sort of thing?

    550 Maranello v 612 Scaglietti

    This seems good value, or rather cheap depending on your point of view https://autofficina.co.uk/cars/for-sale/ferrari-612-scaglietti-4/ but it's from a recognised place. I gather early 612s are not a patch on the later ones but even so.

    CHURCHILL INSURANCE RENEWAL PREMIUM UP 40%

    Ewan, Would you mind pm ing your contact at PH. I don't suppose my needs are as complex but it's still a GII house and I'm not very enamoured with the NFU with whom I've insured for years. It's increased by a crazy amount over the last 2 years. Thanks David

    QP 3.8 GTS - common issues?

    Evening chap, I assume you have drifted from the 3 pointed star place? I assume you have sold your cls now then? Best of luck in your QP search.

    Thoughts on an R171

    That's the only way to tell really, and it's good fun. Of course if you could find a 113k in an slk then that really wouldn't be slow. There are a few conversions out there. Don't fancy an SL? The 350s do without the troublesome ABC suspension that the 500 and 55 have. ABC is good, great even...

    Range Rover advice

    My local garage lent me a 60 plate 4.4 tdv8 that another customer had for sale. It lasted precisely 15 miles before stranding me for 7 hours! I know it was just one of those things, could have happened next week, last week, whenever but it does rather put you off!

    Thoughts on an R171

    No sorry. I can't say I've really felt the need. Might be a different requirement in something smaller like the slk. Should be plenty on MBClub.co.uk

    Thoughts on an R171

    We've had a couple. Currently run a c55, so same engine/box. Yes the box is not the cutting edge in change speed but it is a **** sight smoother at low speed changes than newer ones. I can't say I've really had an issue with it on the move. They have great torque (even more so with our old e55...

    Range Rover advice

    They're very cool but I think you might be able to buy a range rover for the cost of a decent one those these days mind.

    That is really one of the very best colours for those. Looks in great condition. What's the mileage on it?
