Comment:

• Comment from 2012: I know the history of the car for the last three owners, but the last owner destroyed the car. Many parts missing, so the parts search begins.
• 2011: car in bad shape and will be undergoing a complete restoration soon.
• As with many old BMs, it fell into the wrong hands. An Indian Fella in EL bought the car and stripped it to repaint Red, then Green, then yellow. His family had a Auto-trimming shop in King Williamstown and he sent it there to have the interior redone for the umpteenth time. It stood under a corrugated iron shelter for years neglected. The corrugated structure eventually rusted through and collapsed on the car. When the car was eventually towed away by another interested buyer, the interior bits and glass etc was left behind. The Auto-trimming shop closed down and the building was cleared out and I assume all the contents (along with the glass and interior) were dumped. I went to look for the parts once, but found an empty derelict building. It has since been demolished.

Transformations:

• Paint
• In 2012, the car has a single weber car but use to have twin original Zeniths
• Alpina style 4 gauge cluster mounted on the dashboard
• Non original scheel seats
• Rims (both on old and recent photos)
