Anyone know what's happened to this 350i FHC?

I jointly owned it for a sort time but was unable to keep it due to the difficulties of joint ownership. I know the guy who bought it got it road worthy. But I think he sold it shortly after.

Great looking car with an amazing sound track.



Cheers Karl.

It's sitting in my garage..........................

I bought it running and MOT's and used it for nearly a year - now it's off the road and in the early stages of a restoration.

The doors are off and the frames and internals are currently getting some attention as they're a bit of a mess.

Pics to follow when I've got something that isn't rusty to photograph !!

This was when I was still using it as a daily...........

That's good news glad she's still around. The interior was a bit of a state if I remember. Seats looked like Raccaro copies?

Great sounding car. I've got a video somewhere. Makes me smile every time I watch/hear it. Makes my 350i sound quiet!!

The seats were Cobra Le Mans which I'm afraid went on eBay. Although it's some way in the future I'll probably either buy some other seats or restore a pair of early Tasmin seats that I've got in the loft.

I'm fitting the pod type door mirrors (hopefully) using VW Golf motors and apart from that the doors are a fairly straightforward strip and rebuild.

Yes, it sounded great......however my current daily (well most days anyway) is a 400SE which trumps even A591JEC for sound.

Any chance you would mind giving me the chassis number for my records? Love the fixed heads!
