Afternoon,

Unfortunately, my Father in-law never got to finish his restoration and recently passed away. He started the project a few years ago, ill health got the better of him and his pride and joy has been dormant for sometime.

BMW E30 325i Convertible - 1990 / White

Ideally, we'd love to sell the car to a BMW enthusiast, who'd restore and get her on the road again (if you drink rum and look like father Christmas - even better).

Please do let me know if you have any contacts, interest or can offer any friendly advice.

Thanks

I would potentially be interested (doing a E28 resto right now) but what stage is the restoration at and do you know what condition the car was in prior to it being started ? also whereabouts are you |?

The car is based in Hayling Island (Havant / Portsmouth area)

Before the work started, I believe the back diff had an rattle, some bodywork needed touching up and i think the hood rear plastic window seal had gone - to my knowledge running.

He had started the work, removed bumpers, lights, wheels etc... started sort bodywork a little bodywork. So the car is not a shell, engine , interior, hood all in place.

Hope that helps
