This one appears to be an unmolested original car in a nice color combo. No engine photos is a bummer. Differences between a base Bavaria and the more rare and better optioned S models are obvious in the photos:
Standard S items like Leather, rear head rests, power windows, padded steering wheel, wood trimmed door cards, wheel arch trim, door jam lower trim, trunk lid trim, alloys etc. And it has a power sunroof.
Could be an easy restoration and well worth it.

You should be able to negotiate hard. It was a recent auction sale.

excellent point Lance ... 1400 to 9900, there's a lot of headroom there. gotta think that their estimate of 45k to 50k for restored condition is a little overestimated ... and it would probably take 50k+ of work to get it to that value.

bottom line, someone who purchased this car for 1400 had a great leg up to paint the body reasonably well and then sell the car for 25k to 30k. obviously not a concours paint job but better than Earl Scheib
 
I love the red interior. It's too bad the driver's seat is hammered, but a sheepskin can take care of that until/unless you feel like redoing it in leather. Once the rest of the car was nice enough to be reliable, I'd probably just leave the paint alone.
