Your in good company. Tech 1 owners are known as the best bunch on the zone...
What's your plans for this?

I just love the look of the tech1, such a pretty car from all angles.
Am going to give it a bit of a tart up, you know all the little 101 little things, guaranteed to need some welding and paint
100% factory spec but might do the 2.7 conversion
To keep the "locals" aka pacerpete happy, full aotopsy pics to follow.
Thanks for the comment

Standard spec mate, job depends upon work required when stripped. Sunroof and roof is ok. Full autopsy in a couple of weeks. Its had a restoration about 5 years ago, so it's eigher not too bad or well covered up! I will strip it right back to a shell and do the same job underneath as the granite 318 I just did. It will stay standard spec except i will use that HC 2.7 bottom end i picked up the other week with some other light tweaks.
Don't tell the wife !
Yes all keepers.

5 e30's and the audi = ouch on insurance and road tax! Even if SORN they have to be insured.

Just remember you will only ever be the registered keeper and never the owner. Enjoy your time with her as if the monarchy ever wants it back you have no say lol.

I think this is Jim's new investment plan...... he puts it in, but doesn't get anything back!
If values continue to rise, he will of course.

Yer, nobody ask me for investment advice unless you want to guarantee to loose everything, get divorced and be homeless!
