That's probably one of the lowest mileage E30s in the country. :wink:

Let us know when it's run in. You'll be due a cambelt job soon... winkeye

(Pssst. Mine's done 216,000... 8O)

Mine had 157k and been stood up for a year and a half when I went to buy her.

Still started first time and drives great. :cool:

106k must be considered v.low for an e30 now.
