Barn find of the year!

[Rav335uk]

OK, now before you lot start, this is a barn find.
I only got to know about this car on Wednesday, and today I bought it.
It was too good an opportunity to miss.
So i'll let the pics do the talking....



Dirty engine bay.



Origional Paintwork, could do with a wash.



Poverty Spec...





Origional HIGH Milage....with all the paperwork to back it up..

[Mitchen]

That is nice!! I had you down as an angel eyes and Halfords rimz sort of guy! Good on you Rav

[Rav335uk]

Noooo anal eyes on any of my cars dude.

[griff87]

Engine bay looks stunning. Is it Havana brown trim inside?

[Rav335uk]

Think so Griff.

[bab-91]

O, Hello! Them steelies really suit it!

[Rav335uk]

There not staying on the long Rob, neither is the engine.

[Mitchen]

There not staying on the long Rob, neither is the engine.

[bab-91]

There not staying on the long Rob, neither is the engine.

I know it's only a lowly spec but surely that is it's charm?

What are your dastardly plans for this?



If you want rid of them steel wheels, I could be tempted!

[Rav335uk]

No probs Rob, they'll be up for grabs.

[bab-91]

No probs Rob, they'll be up for grabs.

So the plans are hush, hush. My curiosity has peaked!



Send me a PM when you're ready to let them go!

[Rav335uk]

Will do.

[Rav335uk]

I have a list of things to throw on her.

All freshly powder coated.

[bmw-mad]

Nice find!

Is that pine green or havana brown trim?

[appletree]

What happened to your white one?

Another nice 2door non sunroof shell!

[Mitchen]

This looks restored by someone.. Or at least very well maintained by an enthusiast. From the BMW battery to the condition of the sump.. This was not a cheap barn find!

[magpie]

This


f00kin epic find though rav , pipe and slippers for Christmas next

[bss325i]

Nice find. Just goes to show there are still nice for free unrestored E30's out there to be found.

[Rav335uk]

Nice find!

Is that pine green or havana brown trim?

Havana brown trim

Having read most "Barn find" threads on here, when he said it was "In the barn" i wasn't holding out for much, as most are rotten through and through.

[Automaton]

Even the plastics like the washer bottle look mint.
No yellowing or fading due to heat or the sun.

[Rav335uk]

It's been sheltered most of it's lilfe..

[anothere21323i]

This is an undoubtedly spectacularly original car in stunning condition, but is it really a 'barn find' in the true sense of the phrase? I say that as it was last taxed in 2012, so it's not like it's been locked away for years after somebody has forgotten all about it?

Great find nonetheless

[Rav335uk]

NO, i wouldn't class it as a Barn find either, but it's the title that gets people looking through the window though..
