Morning coffee break , autotrader search for green 322s and found this..... want to hate it so much , apart from the dubious bonnet vents I kinda like it.

Been for sale forever - painted green, but all the shuts are still black…

I too had a quick Look earlier, noticed that early 4.4 405’s are now the same money as ‘green’ L322’s.
No idea what is going on in the boot on this one but someone’s had a go…

As expected, I’m not a fan of the later grill on earlier cars either! 2009 pre-facelift 3.6 TDV8.

Baby sick beige leather

Someone has spent some cash on the boot indeed.

I am 99.9% sure that’s a wrap.

Talking of wraps; last night I came across this;

Only browsing because whilst we love our Alveston red one ( appreciate not everyone's cuppa) I've always had a soft spot for a nice green one; we had a lovely Classic 20 years ago that I still miss.

Every time we're out if SWMBO sees a green one ( doesn't matter which green) it's always, " that's the proper colour for one of these etc."

I'm just not wholly convinced about wrapping an L322 and I don't know why; we've a 26 year old Audi 80 Cabriolet which although is a nice dark metallic blue I would wrap in another colour but just can't get over doing it to one of these.

It's a shame he's selling it after such a short time, after travelling so far to get it ( Inveraray to near Colchester) and spending what he has on it in just 5 months.

Ahh, so it is the 0.01%.

LR taking the on any half decent colours now as well, you can get a really gopping Belgravia Green for no additonal cost, but you want high gloss or satin finish, upwards of £8k and there's tax atop that as well.

No reds, or decent royal blue or nice burgundy etc. and who buys a dog turd satin brown car, OMG.







I think if I was going to pay £150k for a new one, I'd request a custom colour, like black over Royal Burgundy and pay the extra just to be different.

That Eastnor Green one looks great (but for the Overfinch bits).

It certainly had an effect on me - not to mention HM. After some searching and a couple of false starts I found this beauty! One owner, 86k, fsh.

Did you not fancy going the whole way and getting a 07-09 3.6?

Harry didn’t seem to be a fan of the 4.4 in his original vid!

Everyone has seen it but if your the one person that hasn’t…

I’ve watched it several times - inspiring stuff, but after some research decided the 4.4 was the one for me.
