This is a much modified 1982 e21 323i it was originally black and is now very black. I bought after three attempts, I have planned to build an e21 to this level but it turned out quicker and cheaper to buy this as a base vehicle to work from.

History
There is a lot of history with this car for small things but not a lot for the big things, parts of the engine and drive train came from a French rally car, the interior was done when it was still a standard e21. What is for sure is that a lot of money has been spent but sometime it seems it took the previous owners 2-3 times to get it right. |
