The simple fact that cars like this exist and do exchange hands for 10k plus it wont be long till even ropey sheds are fetching big money.

My estimation is 10 years time give or take you wont be able to buy "ok" condition road worthy E30's for less than 6k regardless what flavour.

They don't look like original tyres to me! And if they are I wouldn't drive it above 10 mph.

Tyre fitterz do it all the time unless you specifically tell them not to. Morons.

^^^ Yep, Uniroyal Rallye 340's. And factory weights to boot.

And agree with Andrew, prep on a car like this at this price is everything.

So if you bought this would you get an insurance agreed valuation of 20,000?

Not in the UK.

I would be removing these wheels and tyres, keeping them safe for show use and buying another set of 15" BBS with new tyres.

I have all original wheels and tyres on mine Ben, and can confirm that all of them have those style weights from new. I wish they didn't, but alas they did!
