Well, I sold my Humber and Mazda because I wanted something that worked and wasn't slightly embaressing. Like this: - 111,000 on the clock. - No rot (and by no rot, I mean NO rot - it lived in Spain for ten years). - Two owners. - Full history, mostly BMW. - Everything works beautifully (kind of - see below). BUT... This is a Jones car. So, on the wey home it blew a headgasket and the wheel bearing started making a horrible noise. But meh, ain't no thang.

That is a seriously clean 6. Replacement engine and engine parts are easy to source for these but finding a truly clean and rust free 6 series is tough. The 6 series was made to roll on those wheels.

Yum yum yum 6 pot BMW headgaskets must be an institution :Pl. Hell, the car is CLEAN! Awesome choice of wheels too, thankfully 17" bmw RS's haven't all been hit with the VW scene tax stick (yet lol). ;D
