E32, 735Ise, 1988 sensible offers

I bought this car twenty years ago when it was three years old. It has now done 265k miles and has a rotten rear off side wing together with some electrical ''idiosyncrasies''. I do not have the time nor the skills to take the car on as a project.....the car drives well but is unlikely to pass its MOT due mid August because of the badly corroded wing.

In all honesty it may be a step too far as a project......available from 20 August. The car has both an imperial set of wheels and a metric set of wheels.

ASM (scrappers) will give me £200 so the first sensible offer above that secures.

It is a real shame because for the most part this car has been a no expenses spared daily runner averaging 11k miles per year in my possession. Unfortunately I have had a couple of ''cheap'' repairs done on that wing and now I am paying the price. The moral of this particular story is that cheap body work (probably all repairs) are a false economy......avoid fillers and pay to have full metal replacement repairs.....much more cost effective over the distance.

I have 20yrs. invoices MOTs and full service history......main dealer until very recent years.

Bump......I now have the replacement V5......registration F296 EJO......and therefore in a position to part with the car.

I have checked with my local dismantlers, ASM, who will give me the princely sum of £170 for the car plus £16 for the spare set of alloys. Apart from the rotten rear off side wing and a few electrical gremlins this car has been well maintained.......all documents available for the past 20yrs......and is a genuine runner.

The car now has no tax nor MOT......If any enthusiast wants to match or better ASM's £186 the car is available for immediate collection. To the right person the interior alone must be worth having.

No takers and the car goes to ASM on Monday 05.09.11
