Gaz is a brand of coilovers. Probably he's meaning that you can get Gaz coilovers for your car.

Ah thanks dude, I'll check them out!

They do custom coilovers too so if they haven't already got your car listed they can do them.

Now we just need photos

☺️ That's the car! I take it the car has a reputation here? I'll post some pics it's all standard atm, I plan to lower it nice set of wheels and keep it clean and original with a good stance!

Is this the E12 that went through Anglia Car Auctions recently? Was in the first classic sale of the year back in March. Can't be that many silver '79 E12 520s knocking about these days!

If that's your car good choice, I really wanted to buy that car at the auction. If it isn't nice car anyway, I do love an E12 and they are becoming very exclusive now.

That's the boy... I shared it with Marke21, then sold it to another rr member.

I knew it as the doc, as I was told a doctor had owned it for a long time a few years back.

It's a shame its been passed around so much this year, it really needs just one owner to put the money and time into getting fully restored.

Me and the guy I sold it to spent a day polishing up the chrome and it really did help the look of the car, but this would have been in May of last year.
We became mates so I know he was looking after it, as we would go to shows together.

When I had it ran so well, started first time and it makes a great sound when its holding onto gears, which being an early auto it did far too often.

its such a good looking car, got far more looks than my e30 does.


Good luck with the doc. look after the old fella

Lowering springs are a lot cheaper than coilovers.

Any progress with the car?
