I was tempted to bid, but after having a look it needs alot more work than I'm prepared to do/have done. Could be an ideal project for someone with the time/money and love though.

That is a f***ing state.
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I love E21s but that's one to avoid IMO.

Too much rot.

Good god that is a right shitheap! Also being a 320i I see no reason why to even bother with it. Surley these days a 323i is the only one worth doing restroration work on?

If the kugelfischer pump is working, then it is worth a couple of hundred for the engine and injection bits...

Don't think the rest is worth saving...

That's well worth buying if it was anywhere close to civilisation - there's a good load of 2002 tii bits on there and bits to upgrade 2002s generally. It's never seeing the road again though.

320i's had K Jetronic, not Kugelfischer. They were quite a pokey thing back in the day - I had a Fjord blue one in 1988. 8O

It would be a far more worthy project that another TR6/MGB, but would make no economic sense at all. Sadly that one needs divesting of its M10 and a few other morsels, and then weighing in to claim your £200.

We had 320 (6 cyl carb), Polaris Silver, complete with M tricolour go faster stripes down the side and BBS Mahle alloys.

Rust got the better of it. :(

The ebay item is worth fragging, but little else.

Hate things such neglect, if it was 5 miles from my house and had the space, I would cerainly get hold of it and use some of the parts for mine...and make sure other parts are given to other cherished owners :-)
