    Cheers man! It's a quality motor, seems to be one of few decent E39 Sports around too. Helps that the Imola red is in great condition!

    Much if that isn't down to me, more the other person who gave her the TLC I wished I could have given the car. It really is in fantastic condition, and stands leagues apart from most other 156's on the road and donedeal.

    I am humbled by your compliment, I don't get much traffic around here. :)

    Did you just quote a photo..? :pac:

    Gah I miss having the banter around here..! But yes, it's the real deal, a few small things to deal with but Cian Ryan and Quad have had a spin in it so I'm sure they'll make their opinion known..:D

    It's a completely mad car, 80km/h and it's sitting in 5th gear pulling 1k rpm...:cool:
