Rust

sunroof, scuttle, sills, arches rear, suspension turrets rear, front wings at the bottom, boot, in the corner of opening of the rear quarter windows, wing mirrors, battery tray, spare wheel well, front jacking points and floor pan, bulkhead

Go over each car with a fine brush! U don't want a terminally ill car from the tin worm. Most are fine and need a bit here and there, but some are death trap sheds, that LOOK GOOD but hide horrors so be warned!!!!

All the mechanicals can be sorted alot easier and cheaper than body work IMO

Early sport mk1 or 2?

Check chassis no. at a BMW dealer before u look to confirm it's a genuine sport. There are some very convincing replicas out there too
