Black auto 350i on flea. Nothing to do with me Al. Looks a bit of a project but so far good price. Glen - another one for you? It's local!

Indeed, I didn't know they made any 350 Autos.

An auto, either very rare or a conversion

Thought they only did the 280 in the auto? Not for me prefer a manual but only round the corner so may have a look see

Insurance could be a problem at 19. My boy was 24 until I got him on my insurance and even then cost £600 extra. Unless he just wants something good to look at.

Seems reasonable considering. Still a big chunk of wonga though. Is that fully comp?

[stuartmmcfc]

Did you find out when it was converted to an auto?
Did the factory do it as a special order?

Looks like it has a clutch pedal with a plate joining it to the brake pedal so I guess it was a factory bodge

Mmmm. That is VERY VERY cheap. I hope all the details are correct because if not it would make the insurance void. I've never heard of an insurance company giving cover to a 19 year old on a V8 for that sort of money. Not now, not ever. All I can say is well done. Enjoy.

next mot will show if it was a bargain or a basket case (outtriggers)...reading the manual-automaic bodge...that does not sound promising!!

The post directly above yours would suggest its not originally an auto.
