Sweet! I've never seen one of those up close...

Thanks guys!

Old girl cleaned up pretty good. Quick hand wash, applied Carnuba wax and cleaned up the interior. Looks much better now.

Tomorrow I'm off to a holiday in Greece for one week so the 8er will stay parked in the garage with disconnected batteries for now.

A lot more up close pictures.

Very cool! I like the dash layout of that era

How long is it going to take you to register this thing this time?

Yeah, I dig it too. It's very oriented towards the driver.

Good question haha. Probably even longer this time because the car has to go through Dekra for complete inspection and I'm pretty sure it won't pass in current condition. Biggest problem would be aftermarket exhaust and rims. All of that needs to be checked over and written into registration papers of the car. It will take a lot of time and cost a lot of money because Germany.

Time for a new thread.

Sorry, you are right it is, but I don't want to start another thread because I'm not sure how long will it be with me.
I'll know for sure once I get back from vacation. In case it sticks longer with me, I will definitely start a new thread.

Got back from vacation last night and sold the E31 this morning.

I've put up the ad online before I left for Greece and got swamped with calls and emails. I probably got more than 30 inquiries just in the first few days.

I am kinda sad because this E31 had perfect basis for mild restoration and would've been a fun project, but the fact is it needed a lot of work just to pass TÜV and being that this car was in Euro 1 emission group, yearly registration is around $900-1,000.
This way I made some very nice quick profit and moving on to something else.

It went to Czech Republic. Guy didn't speak word of English or German. He looked at it for whole 5 minutes without driving it, mumbled something, payed the asking price and took it away. If only all of the buyers were like him hah.

This concludes my adventure with the 8 series and I'm in search of something else interesting.

Once more on a trailer. Hopefully it will be back on the road soon.

Congrats on the easy sale. Wow, two Smart cars in the same pic. Are they very popular over there ?

[BMWCurves]

Well. That lasted a while. What's next? An Isetta you have for 12 minutes?
