IIRC I spent around 8k and 12 months building it well worth the money compared to the overpriced scrap that's out there for sale lately

If thats what you like then glad you got how you wanted it. I am not fan of leather though. It took me two years to track down a decent sport cloth interior for my touring, love it now.

Do you have a link to a thread with more pictures? I think there were only three proper hartge E30 touring's made in the UK.

That is a stunning car who ever owns it. Not sure if I have ever seen a Hartge. Apart from what it says on the logbook, is everything about the car exactly the same as a normal Hartge?

the pics have disappeared from that thread for some reason, :roll:

yep there were only 3 made 2 were white and a sterling silver one so im told,

my turd was Birds courtesy/demo car back then when they were trying to sell the conversion, I have stacks and stacks of history and a few magazine features,

it arrived like this..

I would be interested to see what they look like. I tried to have the Hartge sideskirts fitted to mine but they did not take as it was too cold. Aparently they looked good but never got to see it myself.
