Hi there

New purchase brings me here. A 1984 318i in red. Amazing condition and looks terrific.

Looking forward to the summer months.

an A reg? Christ that's an early one, look after it.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)

Thanks guys

Yes, it's from SWVA a couple of weeks back - bit daunting buying at auction for first time....

Few minor issues need sorting - like finding the small water/oil leak (pointers welcome) and fixing the cloth passenger seat used by the dog (although might just leave that as it adds character)!

Love the colour ... and it's dry use only!!!

There was a MINT Y-REG one around a while back,I think that was a Henna red as well.
