Thanks to mr Kahn- I’ve bitten the bullet and decided to trade in my 07’ tdv8 VSE and my bmw e63 645ci for a 5.0 SC. With all the fuel costs and insurance for both and tax for both I’ve got fed up of paying out constantly so with a bit of man math and a very big itch to scratch- I’ve gone and got a lovely ’10MY 5.0 SC autobiography. This thing is bloody amazing- it’s fully loaded and has the rear entertainment and the adjustable rear seats with heat/cooling too,

had the test drive and the dealers words to me before we went was ‘turn right as there’s no speed cameras’ 😂
I’m going to miss my tdv8 as she’s been absolutely amazing even though she’s got 200,000 miles on the clock- she’s got the rust on the rear door seals creeping up and I’ve got a newer transfer case to put in, the time is right to change.
I absolutely cannot wait to collect it on Friday!!!
Absolutely not bothered about fuel as life is too short to care frankly and I know it’s going to be insane.

OOh very nice !!
That newer transfer case, is that going to be in your way when you walk into the garage or such ?


Send me a PM if so please.
Cheers, Ard

P.s. Have fun with the purchased item !!!

😂😂😂 slick!!!
I’m debating if I’m going to supply it with the car when I sell- if it don’t- you have first refusal 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography

It's a thought many of us are having regards ulez and the 5.0 fullfat. Will have to keep the sport 4.2sc for a bit now if got it sorted.

I was actually looking for the 4.2, but I’m very specific on what spec I want- basically black/black/black- most of the ones I saw were either black with light interior which is nice- but two kids, a dog and horsey life really means that is not a good solution, and then there was the condition of some of the ones that did fit the bill and they looked like they had led very hard lives then there were the ones that were priced and dreamers money- so I decided to up my budget and look at the 5.0’s and after a bit of searching found a peach.

It's a great find, iv an option if yhe ulez don't get dropped of swopping my L322 v8 non ulez for a mates tired 4.2 fullfat as he lives well outside ulez and never travels in. My rebuilt engine is a huge temptation for him as well as a well sorted car.

That’s good option, I really cannot see them dropping it, they’ve invested too much money setting it up, I saw that it made them 300 million quid extra since they expanded and they would look ridiculous if they did decide to get rid and all the environmentalists would go mental if they did 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography
