Head or heart?
The title refers to a choice I've been given, and should I go with head or heart?
I've been offered a one owner 1990 760 Turbo Auto saloon, in silver with black leather, 140k miles, MOT until Oct 11, for the sum of £375. Its about 100 miles away from home, just to muddy the waters! The head says I have sufficient cars, the heart says "What are you waiting for, man? Its a 760 Turbo, fer chrissakes!" What does the team think? C.A. |

It's a saloon, it's an auto. Personally I couldn't be bothered......

Some impartial advice: go on, go on, go on, go on, etc.
I'm guessing you've seen the car?

But, if I was ignoring practicality it would easily be an early 760 turbo saloon. Saloons look much better IMHO and definitely handle better.
