Any sugesstions for a weekend plaything (car not woman)

[DimPrawn]

What about an old style M635CSi? Or an 8 series?

Old, it's going to be trouble, lots of very expensive trouble. Probably rust issues too.

Well, whatever you choose you can't go wrong with these chaps.

I'm shortly after a weekend plaything but I'm not overly flushed at the moment so criteria would be:

- £10000 budget
- Must be 4 seat (or 2+2)
- Prefer an older Sports model where the depreciation has hit bottom.
- Must be reasonably fast.

Very good. As it happens I have a 1970 Series 1 4.2 manual with 42K from new.

Nice.

Can't see the point in changing gear when you drive something like that though.

It doesn't really matter as it was bought to sell on. The auto box on these things blunts performance and the manuals are jolly rare.

Anyway, here is another suggestion if it is a weekend plaything:

1994 BENTLEY TURBO R ACTIVE RIDE AUTO 4 SPEED CAR - £10K

Although I prefer the older W140 luxo-barge Benzs.

I almost fell asleep looking at that car. Can you get anything more boring and plain than that?
