E30 Zone

Hello old friends
This will be my 2nd return to the Zone

Back again after 13 years!

Some may remember I built a facelift m3 arched wide body breyton 2 door, i then returned to build the same car, but a convertible.

Both were sold for different reasons that seemed sensible options at the time

I am one again on the hunt for my old builds

F178OFH - Hardtop
And
K43PLP - Cab

I am in the process of applying for info about both of these with the DVLA, but would love to find them on here

So, I hope to be posting alot and speaking to you all soon

Dave

Welcome back!

I am sure you checked the Tax and MOT history.

2-Door last MOT 2014 last log book 2018 and is SORN
Cab Last MOT 2016 last log book 2015 untaxed

That was before prices shot up so if they went off the road strong chance they were broken esp the Cab. Could have a reg plate change or be stored as a project though so still hope especially for the 2-door as somone obviously bought it as a non-runner and then SORN'd it.

Thank you
Yes have done all the usual checks, my hope is that they have been sat somewhere untouched and unloved, but I am doubtful. Holding on to old memories.

I have HPI'd both plates and they have come back as NOT scrapped. Will keep updated

From my experience people don't tend to notify the DVLA unless they go in to a place to be crushed that does it automatically.

For a long time now E30s have been fragged to death and what's left swept into the bin

Still hope and worth looking, have you tried FaceAche?

This was another worry, that they have been parted out to death and they have just been lost in the system

Have checked all over FB, eBay, Gumtree etc

Would love to find the as I know the histories up until I sold them and they were close to what I wanted. But if I have to start again from scratch, so be it

After days of googling I have stumbled across this picture.

It seems my e30 hardtop is no longer in the UK

Other cars in the pics seem to have foreign plates
