Re: UK 635 CSi for sale
Listed as a 1990 model year, is that for real
Does look like a nice example and fairly represented, I especially like the statement about the condition under the bonnet as "grubby"

Re: UK 635 CSi for sale
There probably were a very few UK cars registered in 1990, but all would have been built no later than early 1989.
At it's current auction bid of £7k it's looks quite an attractive buy.

Re: UK 635 CSi for sale
Cars last made Feb/Mar '89. but due the price, approx. £42,000, the dealers had problems shifting them.
The "G" reg. ran from 01/08/89 to 31/07/90. There are at least 3 "H" registered cars (from 01/08/90 to 31/07/91).
The M635 was approx. £50,000 at the time and the dealers had even more problems shifting them.
They are ALWAYS rustier than you thought!!!!!!

Re: UK 635 CSi for sale
Ron, I think you’ll find that the last sixteen Highlines left the assembly line in April 1989.
Re: UK 635 CSi for sale
Is this regarded as a pretty accurate source of VIN data?
Chassis nos 8188751 to 8188766 (ie 16 x RHD European 635 CSi) are shown in OEM as manufactured in April 1989 (ie exactly as suggested above). The last RHD M635, chassis No 0760524, is shown as manufactured in Feb 1989.

Re: UK 635 CSi for sale
You are quite correct Paul. Must be the "age thing" getting to me.
Thanks for the confirmation Phil. You've quoted "0760254" for the last M should be "0760524".
It is alive and well and owned by "Bayerische" in Eire.

Re: UK 635 CSi for sale
This very late Highline is on ebay at the moment. If I didn't have so many projects, I might have been tempted! One of the "G" registration cars, first registered 08/89. Beware of the mileage though, its at least 175k - and probably more.....
Does anybody recognise it?

Could something that bad really be restored to anything like it's former glory? What kind of time and money would it take?Pod wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 7:43 am This very late Highline is on ebay at the moment. If I didn't have so many projects, I might have been tempted!

Re: UK 635 CSi for sale
I don’t see anything much wrong with it.
