2 Former keepers, first owner 36 years 1988-2023 Company Director
First purchased from Barons BMW Hindhead in 1988. With all service history and receipts. The bodywork is in great condition as the car has spent most of its life stored in a centrally heated garage. The car has no rust.

This car was put into storage twice for a number of years when the original owner was not in a position to drive the vehicle. Both times the car had above and beyond service and refresh to get the car back into service. Receipts for around £2K each time.

Overall the car looks and drives like it’s done half the mileage, this is a testament to its maintenance and it has been stored inside all its life. Rides well on the new springs and I went for an OEM+ look with the Style 32 alloys being one the best BMW alloys in my opinion.
Everything works on the car, it drives straight, brakes well, pulls in all gears and the gearbox is tight and direct. Although lowered and on the lower profile tyres the car still wafts nicely as a German 1980s prestige car should. I have the original BMW BBS 15 Inch alloys with nearly new premium tyres and original springs which would mean you could put the car back to standard in a day if that is your preference if a close-to-sale price is agreed I will include these if the new owners want them.
Lots of paperwork from new.
