RIP Jan
I was thinking about this car when I saw an xj6 just today.
I’m in the same boat, my father passed away and I still have his car, nothing special but it’s nice to keep the memories.

My nine year old daughter is going to be busy this summer holiday. I've just bought her this:- Nice. These little lawnflite do look like mini tractors. I’ve got three of them to sort out, one for me, one for my son, only a month old so no rush for that one, and one for spares. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/204355/ride-mower-1987-mtd-lawnfliteGreat thread. Love old tractors

Not done anything too it, mainly because it’s too hot and just not had much time. Although I did buy a third mower lol. Was too cheap not too. Will make one good mower out of the two mowers now.

Nice. Looks in great condition
My e34 had those wheels, and 4 new tyres cost more than the car so bought some cheap wheels.
Most of the e34’s left have later e39 wheels fitted.
I really want to find a black saloon, turn it into an m5 replica with a s54 m3 engine up front.

Sadly no pic. Someone might know the car.
Saw possibly a black impala, or bonnivelle American dragster typecar, towing a caravan near Stratford on Avon.
Had a supercharger or similar sticking out the bonnet

Yes they made 50 special edition cars, I would post a pic but don’t want to clog up your thread too much. Go for it mate, I'm sure people who are interested in these types of cars will appreciate it! Your m5 looks in great shape. Hopefully it will go to a good home. It would look good next to mine but I would defiantly be in trouble.

Good luck. I’ve got a Silverstone blue e46 m3. It’s a special colour. In an E46 M3, that would be an individual then? Look lovely in that car. Yes they made 50 special edition cars, I would post a pic but don’t want to clog up your thread too much.

My earliest memories are going to the scrapyard when they were proper, and you could climb over the cars and all that good stuff,
The other one is my dad writing off his mk5 cortina on the way to school one morning, and I got the day off.

I don't know if the ignition switch is a similar set up to our Westwood but when we bought that it had a very similar problem, turned out someone had put on a switch of another Westwood which wasn't compatible, turns out there were about 5 different types all with different pin positions depending on tractor serial number, got the right switch and ran perfect! Sorted now. The solonoid wasn’t getting a good earth. Sorted now and it starts ok, The engine runs but, part of me thinks that timing is out slightly, if that even possible, and the carb I think needs some attention. Also managed to puncture one of the new inner tubes. Inside of the wheel rims were rusty, I tried to sand them down but it’s not easy with the tyres still on. So looks like I need to get the rear tyres off and clean up the inside of the rim or it will just punchture again.

Managed to get some time on it today. Switched the starter from the other mower, fitted the new starter solonoid.
When I turn the key it gets 12v but doesn’t connect the 12v supply from the battery to the starter. So I’m not sure if it’s a faulty one.
When I do jump start it, I can’t turn it off either now unless I pull the spark plug lead off.
So there’s some problems with the wiring, but I did manage to drive it back and forward and it all works ok.
Just need to sort the wiring issues then put the front end back on once it’s painted.

Nice. Love the 18’s, I’ve been looking for a set, so if you decide to sell let me know.
My vanos is dead as well. Booked in with Mr Vanos for a total replacement.

That’s looks like quite the machine. Good fun I bet too.
Do you race in a championship or something?
