My neighbour knows I like old tat so he's offered me his father's car.
We've not talked cash so I'm wondering whether to a) buy it and keep it or b) buy it, tidy it up and sell it.
The car details:
1989 BMW E34 520i SE manual
Dolphin Grey
20,244 miles (real, not doctored!)
Full BMW service history
Grey cloth interior (immaculate)
It is completely rust free, original wheels, original everything. Bit of a timewarp car really. Paintwork is utterly perfecto. All glass mint.
However it's been off the road since 2008 (so for 7/8 years). It wasn't laid up because there was a problem with it, just that the old boy got another car and just stuck it in the garage. The MOT expired in 2008 and he didn't drive it again apart from warming it up every few months.
It starts, idles etc perfectly. Guess the brakes are all fubar though.
A few pics below.
The registration is "OO 1900" so not sure if that's worth any money or not. Will come on the car.
Any ideas what it could be worth?
Cheers gents,
Ben
