    Boo - sorry to hear that. Hope it went to a good home.

    I had a young tech pining over mine early while it was in for a service - you really do get such a joy of ownership with them.
    I think mine will stay for another 5 years, although I did say that 5 years ago...

      Ah, that's a shame Mel - must've been a tough decision to sell. Hope you pointed the new owner in this direction

              Definitely a sad day when a long term owner and contributor sells his car but hopefully its gone to a good home.

              Best of luck with Vintage Boat.

                  I know the feeling brother...when I let go of the S50, I had to do it quickly so as not to have any second thoughts. Enjoy the vintage boat.

                    Sold mine over 5 years ago but still occasionally pop in here to see what's going on. The MC is a car that gets under your skin and once owned is never forgotten. If I was ever in the fortunate position to be able to own a fleet of cars I would definitely have another.

                        Yes, my S54 going was a real wrench. You can still top trump in the pub, though... 'here's a photo of a car I had a while back. Bet you don't even know what it is....'

                          Agree about people not know what model your car is, so often I still get asked “Is it a BMW I’ve never seen one of these before?”

                          So we’ll now have see pics of the boat when you get it!!

                            Mine's not a boat, Pete - it's an XK140DHC. Looks great in the first photo, but the second is how it looks now.....

                              Sorry senior moment!
                              My excuse is my Virgin hub has been down for a few days and I was looking at the forum on my iPhone 5, very small screen.
                              Engineer has just fitted new hub 15mins ago.

                              Car will be great when rebuild is finished, still like to see pics of finished article.
