I'm sure most of us are tempted into looking for their next vehicle, whether it has two, three, four or maybe more wheels  I am currently doing quite a bit of it and my next one will probably have four wheels ( unless a find a Grinnall Scorpion 3 first ) during one of my recent looking at cars for sale sessions, I saw this  this really got my attention  I have to admit I have looked at it more than once so, as per the thread title, what has caught your attention ? |

I want this. I saw that more or less the same day as I spotted the candy van it has potential  |

Earlier this week I came across a forlorn looking Maserati 4200 on fb marketplace, MOT ran out in September 2020 and it didn't run (flat battery), but was up for £3k which is at least half of what I've ever seen one for sale for previously. Had a day or so of being very tempted to make a financial mistake before it sold. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd need to sell my current car first, and the fact that the Maser robotised manual "F1 style" gearboxes have an appetite for clutches which are something like £1500 minimum, I may well have gone and had a look   (not the actual car) |

The MOT on my E36 is due soon, so I've been looking (with the help of YouTube) at Jaaaags with a V8 and straight through exhausts. Maybe not so retro but they do sound good.

I'm not sure where to go from here; it's giving all the signs of lasting the rest of my driving years.

Hybrid turbos are winking at me at the moment.

Also wanted this, but it’s too tall to go in my cave.  |

Mr brother's black 2003 Jaguar S-type V8 (an ex-Police car, so it has beefed-up suspension and more power than standard) is up for sale, though AFAIK it has the standard exhaust setup on it.

Paging Paul YI have liked these for many years. However, more recently the itch has increased a pot. Prices I have seen for the V8’s range from £3k to £7k for the one in the pic. Chevy and Buick by name. This one is full leather, sunroof etc, and LT1 motor.  Along the way anything quirky still bothers me. Whatcha got. |

The RE looks cool. Made a good job of keeping them old skool looking. I’ve got a Triumph Bobber (amongst many others) but I love it. Bit different to every thing else I own, but no less fun to ride  |

Bit different to every thing else I own, but no less fun to ride I fancied a bonneville but my budget would only get me an old leggy one, or a new Enfield. So I read loads of reviews and went and got one |
