This is an outstanding condition original car which I'm sure the first to view will buy.
See pictures on eBay and Car and Classic - not sure I'm allowed to include a link? I will add some here when I've worked out how to get them the right size.
It is better in the flesh than the pictures show.
I looked for a while to find the right car (i.e. something original and rust free with a good provenance) and bought this car as a recommissioning project.
The plan was always to sell one of my cars (I have too many) and I am now tempted by an E36 M3.
It has done 122k miles and has a full service history supported by the stamped service book
Full MOT with no advisories
£11,295 ono
I wasn't sure of value but have been told c£12k by local experts (classic BMW enthusiasts/professional mechanics). I have advertised at £11,995 but no bites - at least no one who is willing to travel to the South Coast (near Bournmouth) to view it. Please call on 07565 681765 if interested.
History
Ownership before me - mother and son who between them had the car 27 years
They purchased it from Thomas Day Motors in Waltham Cross in 1996 with 43k miles
Before I got it it had been in dry storage for 7 years due to the owner moving abroad
6 former keepers in total
Bodywork
Rust free and straight
No evidence of any repairs
Bulkhead very clean
Electric sunroof works as it should with no rust to be seen
Obviously a few little marks here and there but nothing worthy of note
Interior
Amazing time-warp original condition
Uncracked dashboard
Seats like new – bolsters unworn and operate as they should
Only let down by the boot carpet which is frayed/discoloured on one side
Chassis
As good underneath as it is on top
Jacking points, sills, floors, and footwells are solid and all appears to be original
New rear drop links
New track rod ends and tracking done
Mechanical
Full service history
Just had engine flush and new oil, filters and plugs (by me – no stamp)
New cambelt, ancillary belts and water pump (with new coolant) - just fitted as a precaution
Brakes recommissioned – new hoses and pipes where needed
Drives lovely and pulls strongly
No rattles, knocks, squeaks - very supple ride
Wheels/Tyres
OEM optional 15” BBS wheels with correct centre caps and new badges
Brand new Nexen tyres with lifetime guarantee
Full set of unrefurbished 14” Bottle Caps with decent tyres will come with the car
