i didn't see the steering wheel, my pc(well the tower anyway) is running on a very old monitor.. so its not very bright... hence why the interior shot looks like it was take in the dark lol... i dont mind the badges being worn dont get me wrong... it just pisses me off when people put them on a car that has nothing acs on it..

Yes those ebay schnitzer roundels are nasty!
The rad looks a bit small for an S50 conversion unless the front panel has been molested to fit something between that and the front valence and grills?

You mean he can afford an S50 swap but is a cheapskate when it comes to buying air filters?

Modified in England, see post below

This car was indeed an english car, built by a guy in Reading, Berkshire who had it a little while needed a few bit's to finish but nothing major, he wanted circa £5000 when I went to see it, told him i'd have a think and get back to him. He sold it to a guy in Marlow, Buckinghamshire (P/X for a 325i turbo convertible E'Reg plus £3000 iirc). This guy had it a short time, and nearly wrote it off at Ace's one month when he got carried away a little. The car was then sold to someone else (advertised on ebay and pistonheads). The next keeper didn't have the car either before it was up for sale again.
All in all a nice car, good paint, nice colour, and awesome wheels, with an engine to match.

I just came across this thread now!
That's my car now, still the same owner since late 2007! Badges have been removed, air filter has been replaced with a proper one.
The reason people where selling the car constantly was because it was running rich and very badly. very high fuel consumption. I found out after about 2.5 years of replacing fuel pumps, o2 sensors, cam sensors etc... that it was this.
2 broken wires underneath a relay. This relay heated the o2 sensors and controlled the emission air pump. After fixing this, problem went away. Now a very happy man.
Anyone know more about the history of this car??? Pics???

That video was before I found the fault though, I will be verifying what it really capable of with another run and I'm sure it will be back at factory levels of 286!
Did you sort out the miss your car was getting Brian?

She's a beauty this car and Baz knows it!
I'm thinking another dyno day is in order, late summer? August maybe? When I have mine on the road.
