Why would you not buy an immaculate 120,000 mile car. I know the owner of this car and he owns his garage and the car is the probably the best maintained 3200 in the uk. Surely when you are looking at a 22 year old car condition has to be more important than mileage.
I couldn't agree more, it was said in jest as we were talking about the general paranoia some people have about mileage. The car is absolutely immaculate, and you would think it had only done 12000, had a really long chat with him, very knowledgeable, and a really nice chap.

Yes indeed … I counted six 3200’s at the event, including 2 in that spectacular Giallo! There was a circa 12000 mile car up for sale; asking £27,000. It looked like new compared with my obviously used car. These type of Events showcase that divide very well: the cars that get used and driven regularly vs the cherished investments that are mostly kept in store. But it’s great to see everyone coming out to play - given the opportunity- on a beautiful Spring day!

Anyone off to this event this year?

Sunday 23rd April...
Just been looking at the weather forecast which is currently for continuous showers throughout the event. I'm hoping to go but will make a decision based on tomorrow's forecast as I don't want to be standing around in the rain trying to view cars ... Anyone else going?

Well, turned out not too bad, occasional shower on way up and back, but that was it, a few pics.

As well as the two Giallo 3200's, there were two Verde Mexico ones, one has only done 12500 miles and is for sale, he wants £27000, and the red one in pic 2 has done 120000 and is immaculate, and is as clean underneath, as I said to him, it is worthless with that mileage, no one would ever buy it!
How long did you spend in A and E getting your nose fixed :whistle:
