Andy - I'm not sure if you're actively after an E32 but i
found one today by chance. If you can get Thursday
off work and get yourself down to Mansfield (M1 J28)
my local auction has a very, very nice 1992 Calypso
red 730i SE Automatic with Lotus white leather going
through. I can't remember the mileage (over 100k I
expect) but it was certainly a very pretty car that's
been really well looked after. Today it went through
the auction and made just £350 and didn't sell -
reserve not met. I reckon £6-700 would buy it but I
might be able to get an idea of the reserve. The
interior's very good bar the usual ageing on Lotus
white (still okay though), it wears standard BBS 15
inch rims in excellent shape and the engine sounds
healthy.

It starts at 11am on Thursday - I can pick you up from
the station if you're interested in this one. This just
stood out like a sore thumb in the sea of stone
chipped Vectras and was in better condition than 51
plate BMW's!

Cheers Drew, a tempting thought but better not right now.

J28 is just south of Sheffield right?

Went though again - made £375 this time. Number
plate C7VOR went with it but not sure if it sold or not.

If it did, someone got a cheap car - that's £800 worth
all day long.

E32's are worth absolutely b*gger all now, almost
worthless. That's why I bought one for £400, over 19
months and 42'000 miles ago.
I wouldn't touch a V8 or V12 though, too many
expensive bits to go wrong. The M30 6 cylinder cars
do 200'000 miles okay and the 735i goes well
enough for a banger.
M30 - no catalysts, no hydraulic tappets, no cambelt,
no alloy block, just an ancient Heinkel bomber
engine!

Sort of a shame, but it's worth even less in bits than
it is as a whole car. In my local scrapyard, E32's sit
there for weeks untouched and get crushed whole.
A better one was a 1989 735iA driven into a local
breakers, in better nick than that one - it was a
minter. The engine ended up in a Highline 635CSi,
the autobox in a 535i E34 and the LSD in the boot of
my car :-)
It kept three other cars on the road so never mind.

Think about all those tidy Mark 11 3.8 Jaguars driven
into scrapyards in the seventies. During the second
fuel crisis in 73-4, these cars were absolutely
unsaleable. A good mate of mine drove a nasty 1962
flat floor E Type 3.8 roadster into a breakers in
Bicester in around 1975 - rusty, tired engine, no
syncros left. Then, a tidy one was worth £250-300, a
rubbish one was worth nothing...............
