Lol, a mate of mine used to hammer me with his silver e49.
Damn that thing was quick in a straight line, then needed two feet on the brakes to pull it up!

Was at a servo in Midland around 12 months ago and I jump started a poor stranded bloke in a pristine e49. Was great to run my eyes over one again. They are also a stunning car to look at.

My old man had a standard charger when I was a kid.

@SG
The BF109 (no such thing as an ME109) V12 the db605 was inverted.
That would have discounted it automatically I would have thought?

I have a feeling that motor might have also powered one of Germany's tanks. Tiger??
