Restoration:
- 2014: Car is fully restored
Modifications:
- 2012: BMW GB undertook a wrapping exercise and the car
appeared in a lurid green/yellow wrap which changed color as you
viewed it from different directions. The car may have been shown
at Silverstone Classic 2013 (to be confirmed) and in a few other
places. The car was lent to the Car Club for one of the Classic
Motor Shows when it was on the stand with Sam Lever's one. The
CS community in the UK were horrified and it was quickly
reverted to its original BAT livery
Owner:
- BMW GB (Bracknell)
- Tim Hignett, who may have been
the main BMW dealer in Sevenoaks.
Tim had a collection of classic
BMWs. Eventually he sold all the
cars.
