My first one was '83 & I had it when I was on here... but it's now dead. Still got the chrome goodness, but my current '87 is hardly that early.

I'm restoring a December 1984 Chrome 320i 2 door at the mo - Alpine white, pine green cloth, PAS, bottletops and limited slip diff. It's being painted over the weekend after a week of prep. Once back from the bodyshop it's getting Eibach 30mmn springs, Bilsteins all round plus a whole raft of servicing stuff.
The oldest one however is right hand drive 320i chassis number 1. It was the first right hand drive E30 built, a black 2 door. Not much left of it at all and yes, I own it.

The 1984 car - a wings off resto. Botyh front wings were new BMW replacements in 2002 but one got bashed so it's getting a new one.
The first RHD E30 was also the first E30 registered in Scotland although it was built in October 1982.
001 - they don't get older than that!

That's about right. It will never see the road again unless it's a logbook job. One day I might get a good black chromey shell and built it, maybe not. It's dead but not forgotten.
