Comments from the seller
Extremely original, perfect mechanically, driven regularly, runs beautifully, on historic plates. No faults. Purchased in 2022 & have continually improved the car (timing belt, new head, new radiator plus plenty more)
Note also I fitted a 3.25 equivalent medium case open differential which drastically improved drivability plus the gearbox is a getrag 260 with new clutch master & slave.
This E30 will appeal to those lovers of this special model that appreciate the marque in its original form & specifications.
This elderly owner had to make a choice to either keep this great very clean E30 or the Triumph Stag. The Stag won out because the missus prefers the comfort of the Stag!
