Description
This is a True and Authentic E21 Hartge H3 323rs. After 20 years of ownership, I can say it's probably the only one like it in the United States. There are less than a handful of Hartge E21 H3 and H3s's left on the ENTIRE planet. These are VERY rare classics.

History
I acquired this car in 1992 and it is something special. Over the years I have had to replace some items due to normal age related wear using OEM-Hartge parts.
The air intake is a modified airbox with a custom designed enclosure for the K&N cone air filter. To help vent engine heat, since the radiator fan has been removed, I installed an M3 style vent into the passenger side of the engine hood.

Many know of and have seen the E21 Alpina, Baur, ACSchnitzer, and even Zender, but few can say they've seen a Hartge in person.

It is not easy to come by valid published information on the Hartge E21, and because everything printed is old, this car is an ongoing lesson in German. It's a sad fact that I probably have more information about the H3 than Hartge.
