Well guys and girls last week i went and bought another Hartge motorsport car.
This time i went for the marvelous hartge h26 with its 190bhp 2.6m20 lump.
Its a 1987 car in a lovely greeny kinda colour which im still trying to work out.
its manual everything which im soooooooo happy about because nothing can break to easy in this one it seems a wicked all round car vv quick and responsive.
It has all the usual hartge goodies on board a genuine birds hartge h26 car and the best bit is the hartge conversion wasnt done till 93 so the car is like new!!!!!.
Lets see wat u all think then guys by the way this is the daily driver now replacing the 325i and then the H35 is for the weekends !!















PS ANY IDEAS WAT THE NAME OF THIS COLOUR IS???

Ian,

Nice car

I think that colour may be called Malachite green or something along those lines.

Cheers,

Ian.

beautiful car dude

All these bloody Hartge alloys you got now as well lol

Sweet car mate, can't wait to see it

Nice one Ian, nice car!!

I don't think it's malachite..seems a little light for that..

that looks cool mate, congrats Mr Hartge

Nice one mate. Saw a similar car on ebay recently, or is this it?!lol. Looks awesome, gota love the wheels

Cheeky bugger! Looks sweet mate! I would have trouble deciding what to drive!

Looks the same colour as my 1990 316i Lux. Its listed in my paperwork as Lagoon green.
Is it the same colour as is often found on the later touring's?

Nice looking car mate ! very nice !

nice colour by all accounts nice car mate, nice wheels lol

Niiice - Love the colour!!

sweet

top class my man! looks mint, get some inter. shots up too!

Looks like Lagoon Green allright (same as mine).

Looks green on sunny days and blueish at night and gray days.

Nice car mate, not one but 2 hartge's! thats your face this smiley!

Do you only want the gearbox now mate? Not the engine as well?
I thought you were having both for Ԛ£100?

Sorry for the thread hijack!

wicked car! I'm very jelous, I'd love an engine like that in my mint royal blau 320. congratulations, mate! won't say what my personal opinion is concerning that "striking" colour though ;P

Well done Ian - the car looks really beautiful. I love the colour too.

Good to see that you are enjoying yourself with your cars

Lovely Motor Mate!! What exactly would of been done to that when it had the conversion?

cheers everyone once again jph u have pm m8 .

e30 charlie as for the h26 conversion theres lots of work that gos into it will post up exacly wat later ok.

that colour is and it looks a nice car as well,,,
well done.

im over the moon with it !!

, i sooooo want a Hartge, awesome car mate!

Nice car mate, that was on ebay not so long ago. Hats off to the guy who restored it!!

Sure its a 2.6 Litre? 323i crank with custom superlightweight short skirt pistons? If its that engine then man thats one bad ass engine!

Have a proper look because I think its the later conversion which they played massively with the head, added their 280 cam and the 6 branch. Bottom end standard. Either way, proper 190+ BHP car.

I did alot of research on these and they quot 190 bhp WITHOUT the 6 branch and yours has this.

Fantastic car though Ian, now you got to start looking for a H27.

Congrats!.......

looks stunning ian, i know i told you that last night on msn but wanted to tell you again.... bout time you brought it over for a good viewing

Nice one dude,did those H35/M5 TB's ever turn up ?

ian, looks loverrrly, open up the bonet and check the colour code and there should be the name of the colour aswell (in german, or just ask a friendly stealership to tell you what the colour is from the code). should be on passenger side on the chassis somewhere

very nice just needs the proper hartge rear lettr box rear zorst box, nice rare colour

hap ur right there i have already thought bout that lol fair play i have one im keeping my eyes on anyway!! its a proper quick car though and im v happy with it!!

hehe!!
you're a dark horse my man!!
Good work mate, looks the nutts.
Mr Ian Hartge of the Hartge club.
KEEP IT UP!!
Cheers
Nick
