This car has been a member of the vendor’s family for eight years but now, after much agonising over whether he could bring himself to sell it, has decided that he can no longer justify keeping “The Red Dragon” on the road, so with a heavy heart has decided to let it go!
It has a history which shows the genuine low mileage for a car which is about to celebrate its 30th birthday in March. Everything is genuine and original. The only thing that has been updated is the addition of a new stereo, but the vendor says that you wouldn't know to look at it. It retains the original push-button radio, and below that is a modern, removable-front stereo with iPod plug in, which has front speakers hidden behind the original covers and slender rear speakers hidden under the parcel shelf. So basically it has great sound but retains the totally original look.
Other than that, the only work that has been done is to keep it as it should be, rather than trying to make it into something it is not. The problem the vendor found when looking for an E28 - a car he had wanted since he was a boy - is that most of them have been messed with, souped up, and converted into wannabe M5’s. This one, with the desirable cross-hatch alloys, has been kept completely original.
There are a couple of tiny dings. It also has a worn driver bolster - but this is due to his obsessional re-parking, rather than any over-use, as the verified mileage will attest.
It is a lovely car, looks great in this colour - rather than the dull shades buyers often favoured.
Although the vendor doesn’t want to, it really is time to say goodbye!
