It really does look 100% now Dan and its great to hear that it drives as well as it looks! It would be a shame to punt it on but I hear you ...... so many cars - so little time! And I know what you mean about the cost of house upkeep!

The light blue Sierra really is a superb car Built by good mate Rick , it’s lexus uze powered And sounds absolutely glorious, the build quality is quite honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen, everything is put together spot on , a truly awesome piece of machinery I’m hoping to get a drive very soon!!

I appreciate the work, and I like Sierras per se, but not that one.

Been using the 190e for commuting to work this week Just loving it...I’m starting to enjoy it as much as my W202 which I’ve had longer than any car in my life Starting to think I’ve gotta keep it

Old enough to be retro, but new enough to be a comfortable, quiet and reliable. The grass is always greener though. I have a 16 plate van, it’s reliable, quiet, well specced etc... and find myself wanting a 20 year old clunker on a regular basis

I feel it every six months or so. For me it's mostly about the project than the car in a way. I wish I'd kept so many cars, but when the desire for something different is strong, it's hard to quell.
