Looks like it needs a little TLC, but if you get it for the right price - why not 
Save the E30s!

My honest opinion would be not to bother just seems a bit moody to me. Seems like its been bodged together leather is a retrim kit isnt it? kit is a different colour, battery under the bonnet??? its a 325 isnt it why not in the boot like the rest of them or do cabs have them under the bonnet? I just think its been thrown together. I think it would cause alot of trouble for the next owner, but if you like go look before the end and really go over it with a fine tooth combe especially as its been stolen. But like the rest have said it looks nice but dont just go on that. Sorry if ive seemed to slate it but does seem a bit moody to me.

You really need a eyes on, touchy feely session to find out for sure, who do we know local to Croydon then?
Does Nickp live that way?
But MOT is said to be due in May so if you're serious I'd ask him to pre-MOT it at your cost and see what it fails on, if it is fooked then a Ԛ£25 MOT check is a cheap way of finding out for sure.

Thanks Jamie,you've saved me the time of writing that,except the battery part,I was certain they are under the bonnet in the cab,weight issues an all that.jamie325isport wrote:My honest opinion would be not to bother just seems a bit moody to me.

battery under the bonnet is fine as that is where it should be, to be honest it is a total loss and has no history at all, unless it was mega cheap [which its not] i would walk away and find another.

I'd 2nd most of the openions on this one. Over the years i've lost a small fortune on buying with my heart when whem my head was telling me to leave well alone. there are enough nice cabs out there not to buy a potential trouble. Like Nick also says, all this stolen recoverd, no history or log book, blah, blah, blah is not good news so i'd stay well away mate. I dont live far from Croydon. I could check it out for you if you want ?

It looks a little tatty to me, dubious history. It's screaming, "I've been hammered everywhere!!" to me. The interior is cracking though. Those wheels are not to my taste.
Like someone else said, it would have to be really cheap to be worth buying. Reckon it needs a bit of tlc

something about this car just screams 'NO!'
the fact he wont fix the fan (Ԛ£10 from a breakers) suggests that he's not to keen on paying up for maintainance.
mention of 'small oil leak' yet no pics of engine...i'd say walk away.
but its your call dude!
