It’s a good idea to “exercise” all the windows regularly. The non-driver ones (in particular, the rears) tend to get less use and can move slowly or even stop working.

I guess that does put a different complexion on it

Welcome to the forum. Looks like a great buy. Since it has high mileage anyway, why not drive it home yourself?

I always use zinc spray which you can get at Screwfix. You could lay some other rustproofing over this - perhaps some stonechip/body schutz. Its much cheaper and easier to put on a decent thickness if you use a gun rather than aerosol cans.

An interesting video. Thank you for taking the time to film it!

Hi pod here is the you tube link of the door sound

https://youtu.be/MNI7QO63aVA

Sounds the same to me - so I wouldn't worry!

I’ve always liked the sound when the doors are firmly pushed (not slammed) - so I think yours is normal. Could you post a sound bite of it?

Sooooo inexpensive in the ‘states

I just spoke to Cassie. Ron is doing OK and is now out of intensive care.

It should be at location #1 as you merntioned. The only thing I can think of is that you have a replacement body. This should have been stamped up by the dealer doing the work, but I have come across this before. May I suggest that you either try to get your local Main Agent to stamp it for you, or ...

At least he's got it MOT'd now.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Ron. Get well soon. Paul & Lesley.

I’d like to take the opportunity to be the first to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

It is the same VIN. If you zoom in on the engine bay picture you can clearly see 8188542 as the VIN...
Funny, I was looking at this the other day and wondering why it was so cheap.

Well spotted! So if anybody is tempted to buy it, just read my earlier posts..................

Well, it made £18,000 + commission £2,160 = £20,160. I attended the auction and was going to bid -but not at that level! It was interesting that it was knocked down to an internet bidder very quickly with bid increments at £1,000 per time! Put that in comparison with other lots which painfully crept...

gas -by which I mean LPG rather than petrol, being in the UK- costs about £0.60/litre at present. This means £30 takes me 200-250 miles in my LPG-fuelled E24.

cheers

........but domestic LPG costs as little as £0.32/litre at the moment! Just need to get a tank installed

Last year I bought two E24s for restoration from a chap who had a DIESEL conversion to his E24

Holy toot, new pressure switch and the light goes out! Wasn't expecting that at all. Huge weight lifted here and many thanks for all the replies, cheers folks...

Yippee!

You obviously have a S1 car. I'm just wondering if you have aircon, as there is an extra fan which sits above the transmission tunnel which works independently of the fresh air fan mounted in the firewall in S2 cars and I would imagine its the same for the earlier models? No doubt somebody will corr...

I don't think it sold last time as the number of owners appears to still be four. No doubt the auctions were being "manipulated" at the time and the last one didn't flush out a genuine buyer!

I'll probably drive over next Monday to view the car.

Would help if you stated which year/model you have and what colour you require!

Have you seen what Ferrari tool kits go for

Wow! Wished I could buy for those prices. Although cost has recently reduced, by about 10%, the best I’ve seen for unleaded is £1.199 per litre. By my calculations that’s $1.53/litre or $5.79/USGallon

Currently offered for sale post-auction by the auctioneers @ £29,500.

Guess what I just found on ebay....... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153287115482?ul_noapp=true Now, I'm not positive its the same car and haven't asked what the VIN is, however, the odds against this one being anything else are, in my opinion, compelling. Note what the guy says about the MOT. Upon rea...
