1983 Motorsport example - wind up windows, no power steering. I'm thinking off offering a cup of cold p1ss in part exchange.

Er...yeah. I'm being serious. A Y plate 518i carby with 90 bhp, no PAS and steels is really desirable. That's why some caunt has already bid it up to 50 sheets. Heady stuff.

I'm particularly loving the DIY dechromed bumpers.

the towelling seat covers have immense practicality too when your lass starts fizzing at the clopper at the sheer finesse of a fine automobile

She'd be foaming at the gash from the sheer poke of 90 bhp shovelling 1450 kilos through four well chosen ratios, manually selected at the driver's whim.

No doubt - the 518 is a real driver's car.

I have a mate who used to have one of them (V12) it got stolen about 8 months ago

Think he used to use about £130 petrol going from London to Cardiff and back!

It was seriously smooth though.

It's not the performance Neil, it's the economy. It only does 40 mpg and I'm thinking the 518 will do more. :D

I wouldnt have auto- saps the economy, you see...

Although i was impressed how you managed to get an e30 stripped (to save weight) then got a pikey to pay for the diesel to take you down the shops on the back of his hiab :D
