You're thinking of a P5 coupe there.
There shite, when the nikasill liners eventually fail there in the bin!My old chairman was a star who commuted from his farm in Kent to our office in Shepherds Bush in a silver 1980 928. I think it had a brown check interior. Scruffy but oh so cool.
Bit like the later Jags then...There shite, when the nikasill liners eventually fail there in the bin!

Your not turning into an antique dealer are you Andy? they were all the rage with the trade 35 years ago!I have been looking for something over here to duck the road tax costs so has to be 30 years old and the same names come up again and again and they are all what were premium brands in the day. Mercedes, BMW, Porsche etc. but you are right these have all moved pricewise and few are still cheap.
Merc Saloons can still be good value especially the less powerful versions and in the day the Irish loved them so there are a few around, an early W123 would fit your pre-1980 slot. Early XJ6s float my boat, before the BL bean counters started cost cutting and the downward spiral of quality that started to come in with the S2 versions. Mrs Z has found an off beat option, a Volvo 760 Estate. the one she has found is a 1988 version 2 owner last from 1992 to 2020 with 80k on the clock. In it's day someone must have ticked every option as it has electric seats (velour not leather), aircon, electric sunroof etc, etc, etc. It does look like it has been lost in time as everything even the interior is in almost perfect condition (as new).

I had a 1969 in green with wire wheels back in my youth. Ended up in a ditch and was a write off. Great little car.Here’s my picnic car, cheap as chips but puts a a smile on my face.

Hats off, although in todays world the sad thing Is I was doing that when I was 16.Son of a mate has this 3.5 V8 with auto box. Largely restored himself - good effort considering he's only 25.

It’s a quality build and I am very tempted - sadly no room and selling the Mustang to make space is a big decision for me.Looks like a copy of the two works cars entered in La Marathon de la Route.
