1977 BMW 316 E21. (2 litre, 5 Speed) ‘Betty’
Regrettably for sale is Betty – My 1977 316 in Chamonix white.
TAX until 31st March
MOT until 25th May
I am only selling Betty as i am going to be moving away from the UK for work, for a couple of years and don't want her to sit in a shed un-loved.
Body
She is in very good condition all round, with the mileage reading only 40200miles which I believe to be genuine and have absolutely no reason to dispute it.
Interior
The interior is Marineblau (navy blue) and in fantastic condition. The belts, buckles, dash board, steering wheel ect have no marks and look great.
In the boot, there is the original tool kit, jack, spare wheel and boot carpet.
Since I have owned Betty I have made a few modification, which include:
Engine
I exchanged the original 1.6 engine and 4 speed gearbox for a 2 litre, 6 cylinder engine and 5 speed gearbox. The original, and problematic, 4 barrel Solex carb has been replaced with a 32/26 downdraught weber carburettor by Northampton motorsport (£300 + fitting). I also had the radiator re cored (£180) and fitted a 12” electric fan.
She starts and ticks over first time every time. She drives well, pulls smoothly through all the gears and happily sits at 75mph on the motorway.
Suspension
The standard suspension has been replaced by Gaz GHA coilovers (using E21, 320 front struts) all round, roughly 2000 miles ago. (£500)
Other
The battery was recently replaced with a new item from banner.
The car has clear lense indicators fitted.
All 4 arches have been professionally cleaned, rolled and sealed by ‘stylehaus’
Extras
With the sale of the car (if the new owner wants) I will include the original engine, gearbox, prop, xmember, rad ect.
The clear lensed indicators (i have refitted the orange ones)
2x haynes manuals (1 for the engine, 1 for the shell)
The yellow headlights shown in the pictures will not come with the car (they are European, LHD lights), she will come with the standard UK lights.
Also she will come with the standard 13" steels wheels.
Negatives
There is a very small amount of surface rust on the slam panel under the bonnet and by the rear o/s quarter window but that is all.
There is a small wear mark on the top outside of the drivers seat.
I have a couple of other bits for sale (new owner will get 1st refusal on parts if the car is sold in the next 2 weeks)
16x8.5” and 9.5” VW Passat banded steels with nangkang tyres (as shown in pictures)
16x8” Gotti G1001’s with falken tyres, and G23 engineering adapters (as shown in pictures)
RPM fully adjustable top mounts.
6 cylinder clocks with rev counter
4 cylinder clocks with rev counter
European single headlights
Please feel free to CALL me on 07824533883 with any queries
Cheers Dan
