I would have put this in the for sale forum but I have no piccies or any "proper" info on the car, this is purely a favour for fellow zoners.
My friend picked up a red 318is a few months ago. He's now fed up with it sitting on his driveway and wants rid.
It was written off a few years ago from a rear end smash. The damage has been repaired and its a surprisingly clean car. Very little rust, scuttle/rear arches rot free.
Engine seems good, mileage is decent also. It has very good cloth sports interior, sebring exhaust, sparco strut brace, black headlining etc. A worthy breaker or a good shell that could be put on the road with a little effort.
The dash was recently removed to replace the heater matrix and is only half way put back (20mins to finish off), apart from that its driveable.
Anyway, he said if someone gives him £250 this week they can take it away.
Its located in New Malden in Surrey.

I know I'm thinking about pinching the exhaust and strut brace
Interior must be worth at least £100?

if anyone wants the rolling shell with engine and gearbox etc. Im sure something can be arranged for around £150, which is a bargain for the engine, box and suspension alone.
All panels are good too.

^ No tax or MOT Cliffy I'm afraid. It was a written off and repaired but never put back on the road, it needs to be re-registered or something to be mot'd.
Jbh, I cant remember exactly what the brace was like. I'll pop over tonight or tomorrow and get some piccies of the bits

Yep, everything is for sale. He wants rid in the quickest way possible while getting some money back. Whether it be selling the whole car or selling a few bits and scrapping it.

Si, what you waiting for. Get rid of the great white and sail about in this! What could possibly go wrong?

This is now mine. I thought it would be foolish not to take it off his hands. The font seats are provisionally sold.
I'll still happily sell the whole car minus a few bits, if not I'll semi-frag it.
If anyone wants anything let me know.

That will break nicely. The wheels are unusual, what are they.
I'm not interested in buying them, but someone else might.
318is specific strut braces are also worth a bit, along with the tech1 spoiler, interior, fogs. Thats all before you have considered the engine and running gear.
Good buy, for peanuts I presume.
