I inspected this car. In addition to observations already mentioned above I also noted:
- Has a faulty auto shifter (there was a hand written note scrawled on it when I viewed, since removed in photo)
- The passenger door sits out by 5-10mm. Needs adjustment.
- Missing boot roundle
I know the museum paid close to Aus$80k for this car couple of years ago. Tbh it’s a clean car overall with a few flaws for a new owner to improve (isn’t it always like that?, I know it was when I bought my E9 - just part of the fun of ownership fixing all those little things imho)
If someone gets it cheap at this distress auction, it would be a good buy. It also is a very nice looking car in the flesh, with the Inka, black interior and Alpina rims a great combo. Body was rust free and paint was lovely.
(And btw it is not a concours vehicle despite the advert making this claim)
