Full Leather E23 anyone?

Snap! just spotted it too.

if its cosmos blue I or selephant will be interested as we both have cosmos E23s

don't fret Mark, I wouldn't break it if it was a goodun

some panel swapping thats all.

you can have the leather & I will put a cloth set in.

728i make a lovely everyday classic - really nice cars

Harry Bucklands scrapyard in Cheltenham have a
732 i with a superb beige leather interior. About £50
the lot. I wonder if anyone will go there tommorow
and buy it?? Probably not!

Sorry, but that 728i is junk and needs relieving of the
leather trim and crushing. They're no better on fuel
than a 735i and are dog slow.
Hiabboy still has a complete Buffalo leather interior
which will probably go into the crusher with the car.

Cheltenham, not Chelmsford Mark, a long way from me, Gloucestershire, towards Welsh Wales, way down the M4

Andy's right about Hiab's buffalo interior - why not buy it for the RB? would look really cool man

Andy is wrong about 728i's, they're OK to drive. I used to drive to Brands for those Sunday BMW and also Alfa race meets around 1992/3 in my Opalgrun 728i sharknose, cruising on the M25 ton up - Evenin' All. whats the statute of limitations on speeding?

Andy - I accuse you of liking Alfa Romeos!!!

I meant to say......the first road test in the UK for an
E23 was a Cypress green 728, ULF 401R.
I dug into my stash of logbooks for crappers gone
by(!) and there it is! According to the V5 I bought it on
1st May 1986 and I can remember collecting it fro
Westbury car Auction. My god it was rubbish, it
cooked itself on the A4 near Calne and I really had to
nurse the poor old thing back. Pinking like hell it
was. The chasasis number is 5720008 which
means it was the seventh RHD E23 made.

According to DVLA though, it's had a change of
keeper on 4th April 2002 so maybe it's still about.
It was starting to rot pretty well too!

No, it's a pig. I'd rather have an Audi A4. Or the new
Alfa 159 when it arrives next year.

except when you go to Hiab's and Andyboy's

Not really woried about the colour. Although the sticker in the engine compartment says "Cosmos Blau", & the logbook says "Blue", my car is a silvery gray.

I'm certain it hasn't been resprayed (unless it was a very thourough job). I can only guess the paint has er "gone off" for want of a better description over the last 20 years.

By the way I have picked up four doors for an E23. I only want the OSR. So if anyone wants the others E-mail secretsales@aol.com.

are thay mk1 doors. How's the car coming along M8

 

In the sellers' description:

Much nicer than a Vauxhall Senator-damn cheek.
