Thanks. Nearly 2 years mate. It will be on show at BMW UK in July and Gaydon's BMW Festival.
Believe it or not...its going into the bodyshop Monday morning to repsray the drivers door and bootlid. A lot of engine bay cleaning and bits to add to make it show standard.

Thanks all. Currently drive a Toyota Yaris diesel (urgh!) for work but I use this to commute - love it to bits!

Cheers Barry! I ended up moving to Birmingham in March this year so did not get a chance to come to your bodyshop in Croydon for a quote. My car is going into a garage on Monday for minor paint work.
See you at Gaydon and Bracknell

Alright Gino! Yeah long time. Just recently relocated again to Bham for work. Prepping the Sport as always, although she is very dirty today (needs a scrub on Sunday)

Not yet Ritz. I've made the decision to take the Sport off the road and now looking at buying another car. There's some work required i'm afraid. Dreaded tin worm has taken it's hold on the rear arches rear number plate surround. It still looks stunning, but you know what I'm like Ritz....Mr Perfectionist it has to be right!
I'm planning a small resto on the car within the next two years and when funds allow of course. Rest assured though it will be back and hopefully would like to attend some meets. Has Steve (Red Sport) Lowery been in touch with you?

I went to the garage last night to look at the Sport. I'll tell you It was like the first time I saw it.
Just beautiful sat there. Brought a huge grin. I miss driving it as well.

Nice. My Sport has been off the road since Sept last year and I'm looking to bring it out again soon. My current daily drive is a 93 touring 316i lux (big change from the sport but hey its got that E30 spirit!)
Shame about the tin worm news, but I'm sure it can be cured. Steve has been in touch with me sure, and we are looking to do a photoshoot together soon. His car is great.
Nice to open your garage and stare at your car huh
