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..

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

Noooo anal eyes on any of my cars dude.

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

Think so Griff.

O, Hello! Them steelies really suit it!

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!

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!

Will do.

There's an E46 CSL in a cocoon in front of this.

Glad it will finally be getting an engine upgrade.

I have a list of things to throw on her.

All freshly powder coated.

Nice find!

Is that pine green or havana brown trim?

What happened to your white one?

Another nice 2door non sunroof shell!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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