Knocked down by a Bentley? You should be so lucky, squire. Fella in England IIRC had a Mulsanne with a huge Yank V8 in it with a supercharger the size of a Yaris. He'd named it the Mentley Insanne. :pac::pac::pac:

Indeed. I misremembered, the Insanne has its original 6.75l V8 turbo. Here it is:

Love the 159 estates. Hopefully they'll get down into bangernomics territory in the next few years. Haven't bought the same brand of car twice yet though...

300bhp isn't a difficult task on them. The engine is the same basic engine used in the camero so can be built and bored out to 3.6 V6. Along with the Q4 system and and updated exhaust it's be some machine!

Test drive wasn't enough to tell anything.

Boot space is shyte as is interior room. It was near €60k.

I'd prefer 3 Pulsars

60k? Was it gold plated? That's XF high spec money surely?

It was an XE 2.0D 'Prestige' (or Premium)

It didn't appear to have anything fancy in it and I thought some of the plastics weren't as good as I was expecting especially above the instrument binnacle
