Low miles and clean but £4995?

Surely having Phil Collins as a previous owner lowers the price.

Yeah but it sound like he bought it for the wife he didn't like anymore? Mind you, have you seen the state of it? No wonder he played away! :eek:

Phil Collins is a legend and a hero of mine.

He was born in Chiswick apparently

Surprised he opted for a lowly 520i

I thought he divorced Jill in 1981 and the song "In the air tonight" was about her

I am buying!!!!

No mate, the song was "coming in her hair tonight" as opposed to her mush :wink:

I think its ironic he had a 520 touring, I would actually believe it too, especially with the grey velour interior....

Nowt wrong with a 520i Touring with grey velour - a very practical vehicle. Hardly rock & roll though, is it?

Mind you, seeing as he fled to a Swiss tax-haven, he probably hardly ever used it...

Hounslow, Middlesex, according to Wikipedia:

Only 6.5 miles in it though. :wink:

I like a bit of Phil Collins Genesis. The song about his ex was 'I don't care anymore' - an epic track. Shame about the Collapso red base model.

I didn't think it was possible for my opinion of Phil Collins to go any lower but it just has.

Some of the genesis was ok, but once that was over he just turned into a pop-whore IMO

That is indeed a great track i bought the album for that in 2012 :-)
I got many favourites
In the air tonight
Long long way to go
I don't wanna know
One more night
Separate lives

Who can forget American Pycho the reference to Phil Collins and Land of Confusion.
Also like Tonight tonight tonight.
