Heritage fleet in partridge chandlers Ford?

[stavr0ss]

I happened to be passing there earlier and noticed several classics- M1, 507, 3.0 csl all in the indoor showroom with ‘do not touch’ signs on them.
Are these on permanent display or being held ready for the FOS does anybody know ?

I understand they are an independent, family run dealer, with a private collection, so I assume they might form part of that.

Was the 507 cream/white, the M1 red and CSL silver?

If so then probably BMW UK lent them some cars because they are close to Goodwood for FOS

Other way round
White M1
Silver 507
Csl in motorsport livery

Not many white M1's in the UK. There was one in one of the display areas at the Bicester Scramble on the Saturday a couple of months ago, may be for sale. The Reg was PGK 115Y. Could have been that one, because it wasn't mine. Mind you, there are probably even fewer silver 507's!

Here's a link to their facebook page which shows the cars. https://www.facebook.com/PartridgeBMW/
As someone else commented, a privately run Dealer and not BMW UK cars. The owner previously ran BMW Park Lane but took this site over with his business partner, a certain Steve Soper.

A great collection, the Malachite Green E28 M5 looks stunning.

The white M1 STH 899 used to be owned by Tim Hignett, not seen it about for quite a while.

Not enough new cars being manufactured to fill the showrooms so drafting in old models?
