Same thing happend to me, Tried to get a freebie MORRIS MARINA in dog shit brown colour, dont know why i wanted it. Not quite in the same league as a beemer either. Instead of being gutted about being beaten to it, I was actually quite releaved. :D

Trouble is, a 1982 320 Baur is worth absolutely fuck all. It would be a rusted out, oil leaking, damp booted, wanked interior'd piece of shit of no value to anyone. You would have spent the rest of your natural welding the thing back together. Think of the oldest E30 and how rotten it is. Then add another year......
You had a lucky escape there.
