Vehicle Condition Alert Register.

Which translates to: "This vehicle has been written off and declared a Category C or D vehicle".

More info on the various categories insurers assign to damaged vehicles.
Thanks. I decided to do a quick HPI, as Cat D doesn't scare me too much. It is BOTH Cat C and Cat D. Cat D in 2002 and Cat C in 2010. I think I'll avoid! tongue out

Obviously about £2k overpriced, but have we ever seen picnic tables in the back of an E34? I certainly haven't.
Are they the wheels which need the billion pound tyres?
No, those ones are the more reasonable 230/55 R390 Dunlop TDs (the first implementaion of what would become RFTs) at around £130-150 per corner rather than the 240/45 R415 Michelin TRX/TRX GTs at £395 per corner.

Six cylinder facelifted E34s wore those size tyres as standard (as did E32 750iLs, as pointed out on the radial spoke wheels shown) as here:

Probably best not to actively 'try' oversteer on the public road.

Shame it is in Shed condition, i would have to have the niggles sorted out, either way, what a masterpiece, shame BMW's current M cars do not interest me today at all, or probably because i prefer cars from the 80's and 90's.
