Anybody going to the Classic this year? I’m booked and hoping to take one of the AVA Turbos (if I can get it through the MOT )

I’m intrigued, Rob - are you saying that you felt happier with the apron fitted, or that it improved the handling?

A bit late to the party, I know, but I very nearly bought an 850 CSi a few years ago, but the deal fell through. I desperation I got a 840 instead. Slush ‘box and not a six-speed manual. It’s a lovely car and goes pretty well - however, I’m hankering for a 850CSi again (sadly prices have increased 2...

The only thing better than a road trip is wrenching on the cars, so go for it

I consider myself fortunate that my wife travels everywhere by broomstick.

No offense intended. I was merely answering in the style of ‘Horsetan’ (don’t you miss his posts?!) Seriously though, is it really worth doing? You’d have to weld up and refinish the bodywork to hide the redundant opening. Then you’d have to find a motor and assembly to give a longer travel for the ...

Wow! This is very interesting. Please keep us posted with the progress!

Remove one of the wiper arms

He needs to update his website then

Six weeks and still, apparently, for sale. I am rather surprised it hasn’t sold yet!

So it was unsold at £8000

It was bid to £8,100 before the auction was cancelled. Obviously sold it off eBay, possibly for more than that sum?

I thought someone was linking me to Trans-Atlantic cruises

Of course you're not! I never deprive myself of a new (read, old) motor when I find a suitable candidate for sale. Such fun buying them and getting to work on them. I bought a '99 Jeep Cherokee Orvis over the weekend and I'm looking forward to picking it up tomorrow :wink: E24s remain my only true l...

What a crying shame :( Looks like its only good for a re-shell, unless you're a masochist or a master-welder (who's also a masochist :lol: ) I couldn't make out the VIN either. I wonder what the reserve is - as once you've purchased the wreck, then a good donor car, I reckon you'll be into it for so...

I always wonder why a car such as this one hasn’t sold in such a long time?

Ha! I’m repeating myself

Try changing the coil.

I’m pretty sure that the connector shown is for the fuel level indicator.

I’m pretty sure X5 front seats will fit.

Great idea Bobbo

How about this piston I removed from a non-running S1 a few years back. I ended up breaking it, but with hindsight I shouldn’t have, looking at today’s values of ‘restoration projects’

In my experience, a 635 will often start pretty much ‘on the button’ as long as there’s nothing wrong with it. I’ve been amazed when a motor that’s been standing for maybe four or five years will burst into life with no drama. If that doesn’t happen, be prepared for a possibly lengthy (and expensive...

Looks like a great car from the photos - and a fairly low mileage as well! I love that colour, but never have owned one in that hue

Such a shame that they were allowed to get into such a state in the birst place :cry: And surely an indication of just how highly appreciated these incredible motors are today! I'm so glad I got #109 last year - its 'almost' pristine compared to those other two :wink:. I reckon I got a bargain, as i...
