Nice looking T-bar in Grey

[cchrysos]

The car looks great in this colour. Not sure if it is original or resprayed.

Sale is nothing to do with me but I know some people are looking at the moment.

Hope it helps.

looks sweet enough

think it's been sprayed and they've done a really nice job of it

The grey is my favourite colour for the Mk1b, closely followed by the white over silver.

Not many original grey ones about.

That is a nice example. I admit I do like the grey too. I normally like black cars but not over keen on a mk1 as think it looks a bit harsh whereas this grey is lovely.

The respray does look good.

Have you ever noticed with these full respray cars they never have any pictures of the frunk or engine compartment. Generally that is because they have not bothered painting these areas and it looks really tacky when you lift either of those covers. I may be wrong in this case but there are no pictures of the aforementioned areas

I have emailed the seller and he has confirmed the following:

The car WAS resprayed 4 months ago. It IS the original colour so frunk etc all matches.

Below is his response:

'I got the car in part exchange, just over 2 months ago
103000 miles on the clock
recent respray 3-4 months
there is no rust, my mechanic said its solid from underneath
and yes its original colour

key lock missing from passenger side(might be in the door)

I am a bmw man, I was taken back to how good it drives, incredible drive for a car 26 years old and quick for a 1.6 .

with only a small bit of TLC this car would be great.

thanks for interest '

Doesn't sound bad to me. If you are interested, it is worth a call to find out exactly what small bit of TLC may be required.

If it was closer to me, i would definitely have gone to view this car.

Good luck to those looking...

Ok..so i have now asked if it needs work done other that the lock and how long the MOT and Tax is... below is the response:

'yes, just the lock
interior good condition,
could do with a good overall clean

thanks

MOT April 2014
Tax May 2014'

Could be a bargain this one!!

chyrs the white over silver that is currently on my car soon to disappear


sounds like a minter

[cchrysos]

I Know Snoball......I think it is such a shame to change the colour of yours. I can understand why you would want to though. My Spitfire (in my picture) was restored to how I wanted it rather than original and i enjoy it all the more for that fact.

tbh i bought mine cos it was mint - didn't really want to be having to muck about welding stuff up glueing stuff back together etc.......just wanted turn key and go...........

she's gunna be apple candy orange when i've finished. plus i hate the front bumper so that's definitely going - i know it's what mr T wanted but hell the sharks gotta go..........
