Its Granite Silver!

Couple of little marks here and there but Andy (The owner) is gonna be working his way through them. But it should be on the road by march and I'll be pesturing him to bring it to ALL the meets, just to clock up the miles a little.

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

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

Lovely looking moter there Andy, good to see another nice one crop up locally

Get yourself to some meets this year!
Watch out for Jim though, he might start trying to pull things off your car when your not looking and sell them back to you

looks really really nice I have had a few Granite's great colour
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
