Whilst this one looks minty mint, the colour is not its best feature.

Food for throughout!

Get the E30 MOTed and shift it on for as much as you can. Reinvest the proceeds in sorting out the E21, which is the better of your 2 cars.

The sad reality is that running one car is going to be a stretch for you - two will be impossible and will just end with both of them going nowhere.


Oh, and buy those Alpinas for it because they'll look great! :D

After spending about 3 grand on it and a whole years restoration? yeah right. It can sit on sorn or whatever until I get myself on my feet properly. Its not on HP and not costing me anything, not like I have limited room to store it. Only going to cost 100 quid to finish then it can sit and be used whenever.

to be fair going on the price of one car hardly tells you the true value of all the E21's

To even come close to an average market value you would need to find about 50-100 different adverts and come up with an average from that.

Having said that classic cars are worth what someones willing to pay and as well all know as far as classics go only bone standard original ones with low miles ever sell for big money
