i am quite proud of my 210k miles! and although the car is truly mint i would never dream of clocking it as most cars with history and high millage will allways sell for more than i tidy car with 70k and no history! also i want it to be a kind of record!

I put a set of clocks forward to 158 from 129iirc as i wanted it to be correct with history, and MOT certificates, all i did was used a small screwdriver and using the teeth on the back of numbers moved the numbers around, you have to use a little bit of force though

at this age now its not somthing that concerns me. as most e30's have 150k or more, and if not it needs the hostory to back it up. if not its worth as much as one in the same nick with moon millage imo.
