Not in bad overall condition for a Y-reg 320i then - certainly nothing a bit of T-Cut wouldn't sort out! :)

Looking forward to the picture of this one, my old man had a red Y reg 323 back in the early, still remember it to this day, will have to dig out a photo and see if that one is still around :D

I once seen a Y reg 316 4 Speed Baur with tech 1 kit in henna red in my local scrappy a few years ago. Never seen another Y reg baur since, probably one of the first

@RichIS; how did you found out the optionlist for a car this old? It was build 12/82, but I can only find optionlists if the car was build 1/83 or later.

If I can't trace this down myself, could you please check the optionlists for these cars?
751 5001 3/82
734 0009 6/82
741 1244 10/82
752 9743 12/82
752 7249 11/82
751 5570 12/82
752 9345 12/82
752 5257 9/82
741 2755 11/82
741 4758 12/82
741 4424 12/82

These are all Baur's. I got the productionlists of all the Baur's, only these pre-83 cars are missing.

I'm guessing it was bought for the reason he was interested in the first place and robbed of its goodies. :(


Hopefully not and hopefully something surfaces 8)

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

well shes been under a sheet in storage since the last time i posted about her plan is to have a proper dig round her this weekend and see what the score is rot wise from the quick veiwing i had today when she was moved it seems 1 maybe 2 1/4s are needed and the rear panel and a sill but that was at a quick veiw. but if shes to far gone my skill level she maybe forsale.

time will tell. :?

Good attitude mate, hope you can save it but if you think it is beyond your skills/wallet hopefully you can sell it whole and not frag it away 8)

Thanks for the info Rich. I've put the car onto the register, but I won't post ALL the info you PM'd me :D

Even if the shell has rot everywhere, it's salvageable. What's going on with that bonnet?
