Oldest E30 in the UK

Post Mon Aug 11, 2014 12:35 pm

Was chatting to a guy at Morley Hayes, Morley, Derbyshire yesterday who mentioned he'd got the oldest e30 in the UK.

Shame I didn't get much chance to speak to him as I had to head off, but just wondered if he is a zoner? Didn't catch his name.

Hiya, yea I'm Calum, sorry we both had to scram.

Your car looked really good! Shame I didn't get chance to have a proper look round it!

Mines number 45 off the production line in RHD. It's on the thread Paul has chucked on above. UDP 260Y. Number 1 has long gone and been recycled into it's 3rd generation of household appliance by now too! And to be fair this subject has been brought up a few times and unfortunately for me I'm the lucky soul with the oldest turd. Andyboy himself has said so, and been to laugh at it in the flesh too. Plans are afoot to continue this project nail and become the car it deserves to be. Kids have slowed me down with time and money but it will emerge as a taxed and tested motor once again. The future is bright, the future is henna

Pm a price Pete. Just for giggles, I'll even ask the missus if I'm allowed

It is a lovely car that, it's all about henna chromies

Looks good mate, you'll definitely get some decent money for it if you ever decided to sell it!

Cheers, yeahh mines pretty good condition. Just clocked over genuine 62k, full leather in top condition, its had a few extra iS bits put on it in its time. I know 4 doors aren't that desirable but I'm not too fussed, still an epic car.

Just a bit pissed off now some idiot at work has scraped the front bumper and not left any details!

So it will be getting some paintwork soon at my expense!

Indeed. One day a suitable shell will be found. Not sure about E24 and E23 No.1's though.

You got those to?

I heard a bit about E24 no. 1, did Pete have it at some point?

Your running out of time Andy! The potential victims are getting rarer and rarer

Post Fri Aug 15, 2014 10:16 pm

Too right dan...

Hahaha Andy! Dry stored and safe from the elements!

I eyed up your car a lot outside mate and spotted a huge amount of extra morsels. That leather looked very good condition. Moredoor or not, lowered or not, still a tidy e30 and I would own it. Shame some prat has caught it at work
