1986 BMW 316 Auto e30 3 Series 1. 8 Petrol Automatic

This is a bit special! Nearly 40 years old and it looks as good as the day it left the factory.

Only 2 owners and 14, 000 miles from new.. there aren't many around like this, certainly not on the market anyway.

The car is original and it is mint! A stunning example. A real head turner that has received lots of admiration whilst it has been in our unit awaiting prep (a valet was all it required).

It starts first time every time and runs lovely. The auto box is smooth and it drives like the day it left the factory. 2 keys, V5 and a little bit of paperwork comes with the car.

MOT until July 2024 and it has done minimal mileage since the last test. Matching Goodyear tyres all round which are in great order. 2 more years and this car will be MOT exempt.

The original plates and window sticker all show "W. Shirley Croydon" whom I believe were the original Essex BMW main dealer (I could be wrong on this).

The wheel trims are in the boot and they are in perfect condition however, personally I like the steel wheels on it (which are also immaculate). The floor mats are box fresh as is the whole interior.

Everything throughout the car works as it should with no exceptions.

No corrosion/ rust issues whatsoever! The only fault that I can pick with this car is that the driver wing looks as though it has been painted at some point as it is slightly off colour to the rest of the car. This is all I can fault with the entire car.

There really isn't much else to say. As you will see from my other listings, I always describe any faults/ blemishes but this doesn't have any. It just has to be seen to be believed.

Thank you for looking. If you have any questions or would like any more images, please just ask.
