Watford-based E23 735i still up for grabs

http://www.bmw7resource.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=964.0

Horsey, I've notified AG & the rest of the E23 nutters on their new home, the 7 Resource.

Andy G and myself are after front susp legs and this honey has new ones fitted.

Lets see if AG wants to grab this car.

advert here AG:

BMW 735i Auto SE.  1984, Metallic silver / blue, blue velour interior. Private plate.

• High spec model with electric seats (front and rear), electric headrests
• Electric sunroof / windows / mirrors.
• Air con, central locking, Multi - function computer, Rear window blind. 
• Service History - bills for 1000's. This car was maintained by a major BMW garage and was maintained regardless of costs.
• There are 4 virtually new Avon tyres fitted, which cost me over £400.

This is for sale as spares / repairs only. I bought this car for £3000 several years ago and used it for almost a year until one of the front suspension struts broke a spring mount, resulting in the base of the strut rubbing on the tyre.

The car was garaged and I fitted 2 new front suspension struts, shock absorbers and brake discs, which cost many hundreds from BMW. Unfortunatly I never got round to finishing the work as I decided to overhaul the front brake calipers at the same time, and due to the pressures of work it never got finished. The car has remained in the garage up until now. Unfortunatly, I now have to vacate the rented garage and so I have to have the car removed before the end of July. The bodywork was immaculate on the car when it was in use, still looks very good though it is very dusty. I can't remember offhand what the mileage is on the car, but I seem to remember it was fairly low. These cars have timing CHAINS rather than a belt, so it's not so much of a worry storing it for a long time without use.

This would be an ideal straightforward project for someone with a bit of time to get back on the road, or perfect for replacement body panels.

As a  winning bidder you will have to arrange removal from the garage at your cost. It is definitely not driveable / towable and has no brakes at the moment. The car is situated in Harrow, in North West London.

The brake calipers are now seized and will need replacement - they are easily available and cheap. I think that the brake-pressure sphere has been removed from under the bonnet for use on another vehicle (not the servo). These too are cheap to replace.

 Bidding starts at £50. The new tyres alone are worth many times that. The car is also advertised in the paper, so the auction may be cancelled if I get an acceptable offer. Remember, the car HAS to be removed before the end of JULY.

Note that I have no idea what the state of the vehicle is at present and cannot guarantee the condition of any part of it for future use.

Please remember, a bid to buy is exactly that. If you have any questions about the car, please e-mail me ASAP. You are welcome to view the car if there's anything you wish to check.  

My neighbours will hassle me if I take another scrapper, so maybe we should ask the seller if he will sell bits off it, rather than send the whole car to the crusher

Yes  - I'd consider it an honour. Saturday or Sunday afternoons best

colour sounds like it might be Sapphire (silver-blue metallic).

it is a major code violation to break up a tidy classic BM in this colour

or mutilation with a rusty razor blade in a VERY sensitive area

how many Sapphire E24s are there left, in tidy condition?

You clearly have nine lives......

Let's not go there. I'm already in trouble with Nigel for similar reasons.....

Ivan's already offered space for it Mark.

I'm reserving space for an E21 or E12 or E3 - just to annoy Hiab & Andyboy who hate them all
