The other week, I met a fella of Ebay who was after some bits etc, got chatting away and mentioned the zone, he's a member on here already but hasnt posted yet. But I popped over to drop an ashtray down to him as he is only in the next village along from mine.


But I had my camera and took a few cheeky snaps...

He mentioned the previous owner hit a bump/something in the road at some point and it had to have a 'plastic weld'? I think you call it on the front bumper and a respray on that, but from what he was saying, it wasnt any other damage other than the bumper...

Thanks Jim for posting photos of my BM. Brought the car last year after working at a house and discovered it in the garage. It had been under cover for 10 years and the owner had had it since 1996 purchased it from Synters of Leicester. I'm interested in all cars in general and was asking the guy a few questions about it and he asked me if I was interested in buying it........was I :!: Just a bit :D as I used to have a E30 323i in my younger years. Purchased the car together with a folder of history and also the purchase invoice and mileage when he bought it in 1996. Enjoying refurbing where needed and hopefully will be coming to your meets in the near future. Cheers Andy

check out the nice Leatherzz, how cool is standard black sports leather ? it looks great :)

I'm not a fan of the chassis black at all, a good clean with TFR new bolts in the plastics ect and it would look stunning
