Hello there. Am after a decent E9. They're getting pretty rare here in the UK, when they do surface they're pretty expensive. This time last year a decent-ish one could be found for £5k (GBP), these days they tend to appear at about £7-10k
One just came up for sale that (according to the trader) 'just needed painting'. Had it up for £3k ($5k?). Is apparently complete, all parts not on the car are in boxes.
I don't have any experience with these cars but I'm pretty sure this would be a major restoration. Looked to me as though the front wings were rotten, particularly where they meet the bulkhead (pictured), the top of the offside strut (pictured), under the carpet was rotten (pictured).
On the plus side, the car ran (though the carbs sounded as though they needed a tune) and the wheels looked good. Stainless steel exhaust looked new.
I just walked away. What do you guys think of this?
