***Update: New MOT, expiry 11/04/17***
This is a very rare pre-facelift E21, with a number of specific features like chrome wing mirrors, a deeper front spoiler, early design dashboard and a number of other items unique to the earlier models.
It is in overall excellent condition, with only a few minor blemishes. The engine was changed as a performance upgrade, as were the other supporting modifications. The car feels excellent to drive for its age, the quick rack makes the car feel positive and nimble and the engine pulls very well and sounds fantastic. The car has been extensively undersealed and many parts have been replaced for new items.
I have had the car for around 3.5 years now, and it has been a project car throughout my time owning it, although I’m now selling due to moving house and no longer having space to store it.
The sale includes a number of original parts; including all four wheels and spare wheel (one wheel is missing the centre cap).
Also the original seats are included, these still have the original runners and mounts and will go back into the car without modification.
I also have the original steering wheel and a number of other spares.
These spares are included in the price, however if you’re not interested in taking these, I’ll be open to negotiation for just the car.
