323i Hartge hellrot - now wiv pics!

[Hap]

some of you may remember a while back i said there was a 323i coupe with all Hartge parts comin for sale due to the owner unfortunatley passing away, i was due to get some pics but never did as the car was covered up in storage.

anyway i finally saw the car yesterday...feck me its an A - reg in hell rot, the paintwork is unbeliveable its so good, decromed, a measly 66k on the clock. i only had a look under the covers but it has the following

hartge stripes
front and rear hartge badges
16 inch hartges, side skirts, rear spoiler and front spoiler
6 branch and letter box hartge exhaust
hartge suspension

it has been stood for a while and will need mot, its a sad situation but the woman wants to go to an enthuist to keep it and not mess with it. i only heard about the car from a work colleague who knew i was in to my e30`s

i am not gaining financially i would myself like the car to go to an enthuist, i bet if WLN got hold of the car you know it would be for sale for a lot of beans.

the price....unsure, certainly worth a few bob. i am due to roll the car out in the next few weeks to take pics, the engine bay is so clean you could eat ur dinner off it, i could not see any rust in the usual places, basically it is near enuff concours.

if anyone is interested please pm in the first instance, im sure i can arrange viewings. strictly no messers , genuine enquiries. those who know me will know im an e30 nut even though i have an e36 alpina

cheers

If it turns out to be not what you expected and a bit of a basket case ill have the front and rear hartge badges & 6 branch and letter box hartge exhaust depending on condition

[Pal318is]

I'd be interested in parts too, if you decide to frag it..

[Hap]

about 20 pics...keep checking sent from my work email...hasnt bounced back so presume its all good

[casper8r]

hell rot.... I think it means "light red" in German, but for some reason it also makes me think of the state of many old cars, e30 included... With deep enough pockets even the worst sheds can be brought back to life, love is blind after all

I remember reading on e30 Hartges a long time ago in one of the Top Gear magazines, the car in question was for sale for more than 10k IIRC Good luck, not that you would need it if it's well preserved.

[boxclever1753]

nothing yet - i'll pm you again with my work address.

[Hap]

just sent em again 2 emails as split them bounced back cos of size so hopefully get em now

[boxclever1753]

[M3Tony]

[Cabrio]

Have you contacted Iain about this, I have the same car and would be interested in mating them so would buy it and restore it ...let me know what sort of money we are looking at...be interested as I would not value mine very high
