God this one would take some saving. But the spoiler might be of interest to some?

Isn't it a 390SE not a 400?

yes Late 390. Long light pods, removable front bumper, removable sill covers.

If anyone's thinking of buying and breaking I'll have the internally hinged boot lid.

Is the chassis on this car the same as a 400SE?

Sad? It looks positively miserable! Got the later 400SE molded rear diffuser rather than the separate 390SE one?

I think the 390 had round sill tubes and 400 square ones otherwise probably the same.

Almost. The Series 1 390 had the 'proper' rear underwing, the Series 2 got that daft rear bumper/ wing unit (to be fair it probably saved weight) which was detachable (as it is in the pics). When the 'one-piece' 400SE shell came along the bumper and wing were incorporated.

If anyone does buy it to break, I'll take the front airdam, the chin spoiler and the sills.

Someone is sure to 'need' the Zender boot spoiler... biggrin

390, apart from the very obvious. Indicator stalks also give it away.

Its such a shame when you see Wedges in this state…scratchchin..Now then would that spoiler look silly on a 280i..?….I might also be up for the mirrors as I'm fed up with these Flappy crappers..Every time i move them they become loose and need taking off and tightening up!…Ziga

PS:I didn't see the bottom pictures..Its already being stripped…Be good to salvage things like switches..Headlight/Wiper/Window motors..Gauges…Door glass…Perhaps even the dash and consoles…Roof stays..etc..Might give them a bell to see what the score is.

Zig apparently he will not break it its all or nothing, it is a shame to see them in such a mess but always a good source of rare parts...

Base for an LS3 install? Strengthen chassis, upgrade suspension, install your choice of drivetrain... I know a man who could probably do it if only I had the cash idea

Id like the bonnet if it gets broken further. Maybe I could buy it then split it, that would really piss the wife off!
