Car #12 2001 BMW 7 Series (E38) 728i *BMW Individual Spec*

 Car #12 2001 BMW 7 Series (E38) 728i *BMW Individual Spec*

So, I am very excited and proud to present my latest purchase:

A 2001 E38 BMW 728i in BMW Individual Spec (Paint colour is Mora Metallic) of which there were only ever 198 7 Series' painted in Mora Metallic from factory and only 30 as a 728i meaning this car is a 1/30 and VERY Rare, with this car being a 2001 (end of production) it could well be one of the last to ever roll out of the factory in this colour. It was also this generation of 7 Series that Tupac was killed in aswell as it being a bond car in the film Tomorrow Never Dies.

The car has an immaculate chauffeur spec cream interior with purple piping that matches the stunning paintwork and sits on original Alpina B12 wheels, this beautiful example has covered just 97,000 miles in 24 years and only ~11k miles between 2010-2025.

I always promised myself once i had gotten myself a garage, I'd buy an older classic car to drive in the summer months and this is it.


 





Car #11 Mini Cooper S R56

 Car #11 Mini Cooper S R56 - Name: Lucy


Well, this was a bit of a weird one..

I was scrolling through eBay one day and saw this for bidding ending soon after, so i put a bid in for £1800 and won it! A 57 reg R56 Cooper S with i think 83k on the clock and it was only up the road.

Went and had a look (kind of had to buy it as we'd won the auction) had no real purpose for it but it seemed a good buy at the time, gave the car to my partner to replace her awful Ford Focus.

The mini has turnt into a bit of a Triggers broom situation, We've had it 2 years and in that time it has had the following: Refurb gearbox, new clutch, new fuel pump and a host of other bits not to mention the work it had before my ownership, Its an okay car, very fun to drive (as all minis are) and suits my missus' needs currently.
