Hi all - sometime last year I bought the 316 as a short term replacement when the missus car blew it's H/G. That was fixed eventually and has now been part ex'd for something else.

My problem now is that we have 3 cars and only space for 2 really so I'd like to get rid of the e30. I would describe it's condition as "very tatty" - the interior is ripped on all seats, the carpet is stained and the body panels although rust free when I last looked have a few dings but the engine is sound and starts first time with no funny noises etc.

I don't want to scrap it as I believe it has a good few years left and it would be a real waste.
I've seen them put on ebay in better condition than mine but they don't ever get any interest even though I'm not after much for it.
It's got no MOT and is SORN'd so I have no hope of a local sale/giveaway. In fact I offered it free to a mate for his 18 yr old who is learning to drive, but apparently the insurance was prohibitive.

I suppose my main question is - if I were to offer it on here for spares/repair, would anyone be interested?
I just don't have the time any more to bring it back up to scratch and as well as wanting to get rid of it, I would rather it went to someone who needed it than to a scrappies where it will just rot away.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I'm not really offering for sale per se. :?
