Hartge Cab

[tommtb]

I know this is pretty much a repost but i couldnt find the other post (didnt try very hard sorry again!)

i mentioned a guy in Sheffield who says he owns a Hartge H27 Cabriolet, people in the know on here basically said i was 99% wrong as there is only 1 official H27 Cab in the country, i saw him in the car he hides in his garage on monday evening in the sun...it looks outstanding, not sure if its real but i fookin looks it does anyone Hartge oriented know the colour of the official birds registered one?

or who owns it?

because this thing looks brilliant and pretty much showroom condition from a close glance...

would love to find out without following him home and quizing him lol

cheers Hartge people

Iain (HartgeH27) on here has what I understand to be the only RHD H27 cab in the country(/world?)... Same as last time you asked!

[tommtb]

i thought that wasnt the official one?

[tommtb]

so do you only know the details of RHD ones? im racking my brain to think if it was right or left hand drive...

[Jon_Bmw]

Yawn.

[tommtb]

[Ziggy]

Iains is the only official one AFAIK.

I know of this car, its my friends dads car and it is really stunning, the nicest e30 ive ever seen!

Original owner was a german buisnessman who traveled back and forth from Germany but worked most of the year in England and so ordered the car U.K RHD spec from a german dealer. IIRC its a Hartge H3, somekind of hybrid engine loosly based on a 320 i think, with h26 headwork, boredout combustion chambers, 323 bottom end conrods etc...full hartge exhaust, suspension, handling kit and all usual extras. Currently has about 60k on the clock i think.....

Sounds like a nice car and would love to see some pics, never had the chance to see one in the 'flesh'.

H3 was based on the E21 and came in various guises, heres a link giving some basic details:

Yeah thats what i had thought, however this car is definatley an e30.
Ive been told that aswell as the 323 and 325 based conversions,
Hartge offered or... suggested applications for both the e30 320 and 318is
naming them both H3? maybe this is a such car?
