- Bought by its current's late husband in 1986, who sadly passed a
couple of years ago. As you can tell by the pics, the car was very
special to him. The car always has been garaged and maintained by
those who know a thing or two about older German cars, unlike
myself, who, knows a little about these older German cars, other
that they're incredible to drive !! - Paint and body are in
fantastic shape !! Paint appears to be original, that shows very
well, upon close inspection, there is a couple of minor chips.
Super solid undercarriage, floors, firewall , wheel wells and
rockers. Very nice body gaps , opening and closing of doors, hood
and trunk. Some of the exterior trim does show age and very nice
brightwork. Working horn, lights, signals and wipers. The interior
is just as clean, with no signs of abuse, neglect or ever being
smoked in. The dash pad does show age / cracks. Very nice carpet,
headliner, door panels and seat covers. Working gauges and HVAC
controls. Has added aftermarket radio, that I don't know how to
turn on ? I'm guessing the husband may have been larger, because
driver's seat backrest is broken ? Power windows work as they
should, except, right, passenger rear, that has to be operated by
the switch on the door itself. - Inline-6 fires right up and
settles to smooth idle with NO strange noises or smells. Automatic
transmission engages easily with butter smooth shifts.
Unfortunately, the widow doesn't know where her late husband kept
service records on the car or know when work was performed, but,
knows which shops her husband took the car for service. I did find
a Camshaft / Timing Belt Replacement Performed sticker on the shock
tower and the widow does recall the water pump has been replaced.
Wheels do show age and could use refinishing. Older tires with good
tread left. E28 Runs, Drives, Shifts, Brakes and Tracks as good as
looks !!
