This is my other car. It's a good workhorse if a little un-inspiring....... It's a 2.2 SRi 150

Image

That's the original sales picture, but it's pretty much the same as it was apart from roof bars and bike carriers, oh and it's got a tow bar waiting to be fitted.

As I say, a good workhorse.

Nice to see she is still in stunning condition, i believe she has leather now (had cloth when i was looking). I realy wanted the car but was pipped at the post by somone so i bought an E28 M5 instead.
There were two other red B10s local to me but they were rough. :(

I put the leather in about a year after getting her - along with a few other little touches to lift the OEM spec level.

She wasn't that stunning when I bought her to be fair. She polished up well and looked good in pics, but the little details let her down a little. I've just finished the best part of a two-year restoration. Those pics go nowhere to doing the car any justice.

my black m42'd 316i lux is my daily car.
Also have a laser blue 318 touring awaiting brake pipes and an MOT.
And a black 83 2.0 Porsche 924 that needs the clutch sorting.
The second two are in storage.
M42 will go in the touring and get LPG if I ever get round to m50ing the 2 door.
