Thanks for letting me come and have a look at the car Dave. But sadly, I don't think its for me.
To others that may be interested, and before anyone is makes any long journeys to have a look at it, points that weren't mentioned in the advert:
The interior heater/fan blowers don't work properly, the boot doesn't shut/lock, the exhaust knocks against the underneath of the car, o/s wing mirror bodged, there is evidence of extensive welding particularly on the sills and rear arches and on top of all this, when I inspected it, there wasn't any oil in the engine!! (dipstick showed well below min oil level).
Despite all this it did drive surprisingly ok. However with the asking price of a grand, I'm going to pass on it. Good luck with the sale though. Cheers.

Oh and drivers side seat belt a bit rubbish (surprised it passed its MOT like that). There might be other bits that I missed, but the above is what I found on a quick once over of the car.
Sorry to put all these neg points about your car up on here Dave, but you really should of been a bit more honest with the ad, so people know what to expect when they turn up. Luckily I was only 20 mins away but as some people many come from further a field than me, they might be a bit disappointed when they come to have a look, having burnt more fuel and time than I did.
The car has potential to be a nice car but does need a bit more work than had originally been advertised.

sorry mate but I did mention most of that and didn't try to hide anything from you. As mentioned theres little things that I need to sort to continue use on a day to day basis, exhaust boot latch etc and having been a little longer before you come to see it most wouldn't have been there.....I wasn't dishonest, I can appreciate there were things that you may not have found acceptable, I admit there are nicer models out there but at the end of the day its a 20yr old car and a bit of welding shouldn't be too much of a surprise, yes there was signs of rust on the arches but again where do I stop trying to describe a 20yr old car.
appreciate you coming out, if its not for you then not a problem. As I said I'm in no rush to sell and that's only gonna give me time to tidy up a few things.

There was a pic with original. I'm guessing it's been withdrawn since the assassination, but good one by the chap who wasted his tine looking at it. Sounds like a nail.

I think you've misread my post. I was siding with you, saying you've saved anyone on this site wasting time looking at it, as it is obviously a bag of pap.

OK, so sorry dude, Your are correct, I totally misread your post and though you were backing the wrong team !! LOL My bad! post altered Again, my apologies!!!
But yeah, luckily I was local. If the chap had nothing to hide, why did he remove it so quickly?! I'm a bit of an E34 enthusiast, and believe me there was plenty he didn't even bother mentioning to me even on the phone when I spoke to him just before going to have a look at it.

I took it off to rectify the things mentioned, it was up just as a chance with the intention of having a bit of time to rectify a few things....again I never said it was mint. Not a time waster by any means but didn't want to waste anyone else's time until it is actually ready to sell. Sorry and thanks

I'm not sure why the seller is getting a shoeing based on ONE viewer deciding that it wasn't for them.
Apart from the utterly piffling defects noted there has been no mention about the QUALITY of the extensive welding or whether the lack of engine oil, which may have been very low but didn't mean the car was running without it, was due to leakage a tired engine that was burning it or a lack of maintenence.
The seller may well have it up for almost a grand but you can bet your life that he will take, like most of us, a fair amount less than the price on the window.
Its not unreasonable to say that most viewings for a sub £1000 car will come from people more local to the seller. Its not like people will be travelling from the other end of the country to view it, is it so there wont be many people who will have a wasted journey.
As both seller and viewer are probably not known to the many on here it would be daft to take one point of view as fact over another.
Just saying.

Yeah sill covers and sunroof but it doesn't open. Can hear all the electrics working but doesn't open. Has a tow bar, dark blue in colour & was only mot'd 3-4 weeks ago. 206k with history but I'll have to check exactly how much. Previous owner had had the fuel pump rebuilt about 18months ago
