Comments from the seller

Price Reduction Project Car for someone with the time and knowledge. This beautiful looking lady has been owned by my wife for the last 27 years and needs a new home. It is a 1988, sort after, champagne colour, 5-speed manual E30 convertible with only 169,000km on the clock. It has always been garaged,body, engine and gearbox in good condition. Sadly, for the last 7 years it has been in club rego and rarely driven. We've done the minimum serviceing since then and it is in needs of some TLC and repairs to bring her up to spec. She is driveable but needs work for a Registration Safety Certificate, so we have elected to sell her AS IS. Therefore, she is being sold at a big discount to the premium she could truly worth. for someone who loves stylish old ladies and will give her the love and attention she deserves. Please only truly intersted parties. And be aware you face the transport costs if you're not in SE Qld.
