The Appeal
The vendor bought this car intending to use it for a continental tour to the South of France. And you can see why: the E30 convertible is a looker, and a practical one too with space for four and a large boot. In 2.5L M20 form it is quick too, while the auto box of this car makes short work of long distances.
Finished in Alpine White, this 1990 E30 features M Sport body kit, BBS alloys and black leather sports seats. It is a very tidy example that comes tto market with a long list of checks and work thanks to that planned French trip. Highlights include a full service and new roof with gas struts. There is also a set of new Yokohama tyres on those smart rims.
The French trip had to be cancelled due to ill health, so the car is now reluctantly for sale. That feels like a boon for the buyer who gets the benefit of all that work. The car comes to market with its distinctive private plate and a fresh MOT valid to July 2026.
