Well I absolutely loved my hemi Tourer / Estate / Wagon. I think they look great, far better than the saloon, and I didnt want black, it was silver.
If I'd found one with Bentley badges on it I'd have bought a marker pen at the first shop I passed on the way home and covered them until I could get rid of them, how embarrassing to be seen pretending to have something you havent got, and something it doesnt even look much like.
Its a hell of a lot of car for the money, and probably the most affordable way into modern american V8 ownership. That was part of my thinking as I didnt have the cash for a VXR8 at the time.

I've always liked them too but only the estate models and luckily a generous friend let me drive his V8 model around ten years ago.
They are all now quite a rare site on the roads which adds to their appeal in my opinion and even the silver diesel estate I saw last week was kind of appealing and had me looking at the classified ads again.
Agree with comments to go V8 if you can, the 5.7 model I drove shuts cylinders down when crusing and petrol probably isn't as ruinous as it could be especially for a fairly modest annual mileage.

My 5.7 V8 with cylinder deactivation (which was impossible to detect) averaged 20mpg.

It kind of is though, talk about ‘chavtastic‘. I guess it’s all a matter of taste & whoever did that obviously doesn’t have any 🙈

All I could think about when looking that the description was, "that's a list of future MOT failures, not mods". So I looked up its history.
No MOT for three years and the odometer reading changes from miles to kilometres? 🤔
The good news is that if you like it, he's selling an identical one for £500 less under a different listing.

I'm not tempted at all by something that's been modified to that standard! I'd rather buy one & carry out subtle mods myself. I'm currently selling my 350gt Skyline to then look at buying a 300c. Still undecided about saloon or estate. Unfortunately in the current situation it's not like I can go out car browsing. I think I've settled on a diesel though.
