Congratulations Sir , that's one outstanding looking e89, and in my favourite colour I have been trying to convince my wife to change her white e89 for one in that colour but she got all upset on me.........apparently she loves her current e89 and wasn't even interested in my offers to upgrade for a newer..lower mileage one......what can you do

Ironically she still wants the white one back (women, eh?)! But she is quite keen on the new one having the upgraded speaker package and amp (the last one had the base offering) as she likes to blast out 'middle of the road' US '80s rock when in the car (Bon Jovi shite and the like).TOMGREEN413 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 7:18 pm Congratulations Sir , that's one outstanding looking e89, and in my favourite colour I have been trying to convince my wife to change her white e89 for one in that colour but she got all upset on me.........apparently she loves her current e89 and wasn't even interested in my offers to upgrade for a newer..lower mileage one......what can you do
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Sorry about that Ian but I've never liked white cars, mainly because they're as hard to keep clean as black cars!
And I prefer driving to cleaning.
Coupes because stunning!

You tell a good story Iain.
In all honesty white isn’t my favourite colour either. Melbourne Red would be my choice. But it is such a good car I couldn’t turn it down.

That's the problem when buying used! I would have preferred Imola Red.

I've got an idea Ian! We get the Estoril one and if it is good, we swap (with a few quid my way obviously)! What do you reckon?

I have never really cared about colour of cars when buying. I buy on condition, mileage, condition, history and condition. If it's a nice colour that's a bonus.

My priorities are much like yours, but price is a factor too! Although there are colour combinations I just won't have.

Yes the mats in yours were pretty crap. I spent a lot of money on internet "bespoke" ones. Another lesson learned. More money than BMW genuine ones and total rubbish!

now that's almost the exact opposite to me, I buy in colour and anything else is just a bonus........yes I know....its a recipe for disaster......fortunately that only happened with the yellow TVR but I think it would have blown up whatever colour or history it had.....pile of crap

Always loved the idea of a TVR, but never had the balls (or disposable income) to actually go there. Same with a Noble. I learned my lesson many moons ago (1990) buying a Lotus from the mid '80s. Better (and cheaper) than the other two but still utter shite.TOMGREEN413 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 11:04 pm now that's almost the exact opposite to me, I buy in colour and anything else is just a bonus........yes I know....its a recipe for disaster......fortunately that only happened with the yellow TVR but I think it would have blown up whatever colour or history it had.....pile of crap
Now the British car industry is almost wholly owned by the Japs and ze Germans, it can only be a good thing. Left alone we are atrocious at making cars. Engineering excellence always under-funded, under-developed and ultimately over-costly to everyone.
There is someone on another forum who has just bought a Noble M12. He paid big money and I think the running total so far is around £200 a mile to keep it on the road. I like my cars, but not that much!
