So there I was idly searching for race cars with an Elkron livery (as you do) when this little beauty popped up in google image search...  Isn't that just the sexiest thing? Ok ok, I know I have a penchant for racey big saloons.... but would you just LOOK at it!   www.businesslive.co.za/bd/life/motoring/2017-06-08-the-legend-that-bmw-germany-almost-said-nein-to/Found some video footage... Not the same car (I think?) but this is a fab bit of retro footage... (skip to 6:40 for red hot in car action) From that article I also learnt that the e23 745 was a thing... a big turbo 6! Love it! Some sexy examples of those around for sure... All red rears.... mmmmmmmm. Ill stop wittering now... |

M88 in an E23 is such a great discovery, and all so they could have a rhd 7er racecar. Great find Elk

I had one of these (albeit not quite as pokey as those ones! - 735i SE). Lovely motors and I'd have another. Getting thinner on the ground for decent ones now though. That black one is giving me the horn. *rushes off to ebay*

Gorgeous things. I too have a thing for big race saloons.
but then I have a pechant for most vehicles that are old and racy.
