Default 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.

Some impartial advice: go on, go on, go on, go on, etc.

I'm guessing you've seen the car?

I actually prefer the saloons. I have an estate now because it is what came available, and also it is more practical.

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