Description
Tidy and appealing manual six-cylinder Baur convertible E30; retrimmed
blue leather interior and replacement hood; last lady owner for 22 years;
massive history back to 1992
Supplied new by
Woodrows Harnham Garage Ltd of Salisbury in March 1988 this tidy E30 generation
of BMW 3-series comes to us in 320i Baur guise and is finished in Alpine White
II with Black Mohair Targa/Soft-top and sits upon its original, period
correct X-spoke alloy wheels.
Under the bonnet
we find the 2.0-litre M20 series straight-six engine which developed 127bhp when
new, and 164NM of torque driving the rear wheels of course, via five-speed
manual transmission.
Inside the cabin, we find
a re-trimmed Camden Sapphire blue leather interior, electric windows, electric
mirrors and of course the clever Baur Targa, convertible top with centra roll
bar for increased safety.
The car shows 161,600
miles which is an average of just 4,600 miles per annum over 35 years and
presents very well with but a few minor bits that may require cosmetic
remediation in the future and boasts an excellent interior. Starting promptly the car moves around
nicely on site.
The car comes to us directly
from storage and has not seen much, if any use so far this year although does
have a current MOT valid until 20th July 2023 recording no
advisories. The MOT history shows
how little use the car has had in recent times, covering just under 2,000 miles
in the last seven years.
The history file
includes the V5C showing just six former keepers (the last, a lady and wife of
the BMW Club Chair) for some 22 years, an old V5C, the owner’s pack and service
book boasting some 23 stamps plus some hand written entries and PDI along with a
further four stamps for body inspection, 26 old MOTs and considerable file of
invoices for parts and maintenance dating back to the early
90s.
Recent works of note include replacement
rubber fuel hoses in August 2022, bill for an oil and filter change in July
2022, bill for a re-trim of the interior in February 2015, replacement clutch
slave cylinder in 2018, timing belt service in 2016 at 158,953 miles,
replacement Baur hood and Targa in 2014 costing some £750, dinitrol protection
for the underside of the car in 2012 and various welding repairs in
2011/2012.
The file also includes
correspondence between various owners, owners club information and various
purchase receipts for the car dating back to 1992 when the car had covered just
48,517 miles.
A smart example, that critically
comes with a six-pot engine and manual transmission, lovely blue leather
interior, replacement hood and boasts rarity given we don’t see too many Baur
versions anymore.
