I've edited your first post to include the reduction in price.

Hey Paul,

The car has limited history before me but has cleared all MOTs. One of the main reasons why I changed everything comprehensively. It has been maintained by Terry of TS Autos, and Austin Garages with me.

The plenums are rodded every now and then

Cheers

Any offers?

At 66K it goes like flippin stink in near silence and corners like it's on rails; it's solid as, vvvvery comfy and everything, everything works fautlessly. Worth a fifth of the matching 3 series? I don't think so. And I had one before (an E46 318i Auto). Yes, it feels value engineered inside but it's a hugely valuable car in mechanical, drive train and styling terms so why the hickety heck would I undersell it?

I submit (ooo, there's lawyer talk) the reason they're being undervalued is a demographic one. Most members are in a sector affected by the recession and cash is King. Needs must when you need the sale to happen. Come the run up to the election in 2016, when we're all in boom again, our maturing classics will look highly desirable.

And I really do like the look of that Connie....a conversation is about to be had as I've been after one for yonks ...

Keep the faith brothers and sisters, our day will come and when it does, a grateful nation will thank us generously.

Really my 75 is much better than the equivalent 3 series,The aluminium shades on the dash of the 3 series seems to rub off.

I am permitted to have a car though, one at a time that is, (ooo lucky me!) so am back to the swappsies idea. Good luck with the sale!

It ink your car is priced right Karthik, there was a 53 plate with lower miles on sold for about the same not long ago. Stick to your price mate it's got to be worth that.
