I've seen this '02 in a car park of a BP garage as you enter Dover for the past month, with a scrawled notice in the window "broken down". Nobody seems to be in a rush to get it home.

Its a horrid convertible conversion from a saloon, by the looks of it, a lowly 1502. They never looked right, we had to wait until the E30 full convertible to get what we wanted.

Still a shame.

I went down for a walk along the cliffs a month-ish ago and spotted that. Not keen on the convertible but it still has some charm..

Not entirely true: there was a full '02 convertible but they are very rare.

Yes, that was the 1600 convertible if I remember right, a car that was slated for its lack of rigidity, making it a nightmare to drive, and BMW dropped it quite quikly in the late sixties. The Baur conversion of course replaced it, and was a fair solution. This was my car from 1990 to 2007, wish I still had it!

Are 02's worth much? A gent i know has had one in his garage for about ten years and wants to get rid. I believe it a 2002 lux.

They'd better be sharp recovering the '02, I wouldn't be surprised if the owners of the car park are looking to get rid of it by now.

3,000 odd euros!
