We missed the 30th. :-(

But, it was February 9th 1983. :D

That's all!

Jonny, any cheesey press pictures that you can scan at all?

Shame we missed it... Being the UK's largest E30 following :mad:

We can celebrate later on in the year when it warms up

I'll get this one done first for you all.

I am after one of those, it's a period feature!

Interesting the Reg plate A722PBR and A227PBR are completely random above, with the same reg 722 being used on a Henna and a Black car.... :mad:
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

That's mine is consigned to the loft for posterity.
I won't be selling it though as it's part of the car's history.

I also have a launch pack in its original cardboard folder that it was sent out in. :cool:
