The Appeal

If you are after a car that is 25 years old, but still new, then this is the car for you. Ordered brand new from BMW Milcars in 1997 this car has stayed with the same lady owner until recently. During the past 25 years, it has covered a mere 6,000 miles or roughly 240 miles a year.

With a great folder of history, this car is too good to pass up on.

The History and Paperwork

Ordered new in 1997
You will find the original bill of sale for this car in the paperwork
All of the brochures and BMW literature is still present from the purchase
This even includes the original bill of sale
It also has a lot of old tax discs and tax reminders
Everything still works well
Has a fairly long MOT on it
For reference, it passed all of its MOTs with no advisories
You can see from the online MOT data the lack of miles completed annually
It even still wears the original dealer number plates
This is a wonderful car, with a great history
It is now your chance to add to the history, and enjoy this car properly

The Interior

Special order seat upholstery
It is said that this is the same blue as the BMW badge
This was a special request from the owner at the time, and BMW were only too happy to oblige
These seats are in great condition, but then again, it has only covered 6,000 miles
The carpets are in amazing condition
Throughout the interior are pieces of black plastic trim
Fitted in the roof is an electric sunroof
This still works as it should, going all the way back easily
Even the steering wheel looks barely used
The parcel shelf has not been hacked to pieces to accommodate an aftermarket stereo
You may see a little bit of sagging to the headliner, but nothing that will require attention too soon
A toolkit can be found in the boot
It looks like the majority, if not all, of the original tools, are still present
There is also a warning triangle and first aid kit
This is one of those rare-to-find, untouched, unmodified, BMW compacts
As such, the interior is presented very well indeed

The Exterior

Finished in a deep black colour
There are little to no signs of exterior rust
The paintwork is in great condition with no obvious bubbling
For a car that lived its life in London, it is in remarkable condition
There is a slight mark on one of the bumper over-riders, but this is one of the only marks that can easily be found
The current owner couldn’t even find a car park ding
The hubcaps are in great condition
The headlights and taillights are nice and clear, with no obvious hazing
Even all the badges look nearly new
These cars are rather sought after amongst certain circles, and this one is a great blank canvas
Park it on your drive, or at a car show, people will always admire these cars

The Mechanics

Proper BMW engineering
Small capacity, but economical, 1.6l engine
Lots of MOT certificates to verify the mileage
All of the MOTs show no advisories
Out on the road, it drives well
These cars are known to be fun to drive
This has been looked after well and should be a great little car for you

Summary

You are unlikely to ever find another 25-year-old car that is still box fresh. Having been cherished by its one lady owner from new, it is now your chance to take over the reins and get behind the wheel of this lovely modern classic.
