Bodywork restored to "as new", but with a rust flaw after just three years?

Seems good value and it's a 'H' plate so very late registration. Lachs Silver with black leather is a nice combination IMO Does anyone know how many Highlines had 'H' plates? |

This one just sold for £1900 + premium. Not a very good photo, but looks straight. Steve. |

I used the 3 step Crystal system, deep clean, polish then the wax to finish. Since the photo was taken I've had some attention to the wings + a few stone chips sorted out by a great little bodyshop called Seymours Coachworks (0191 2373222) who also gave the bonnet & boot a light machine polish to remove some hazing. Red is very prone to fading. Don't know if they still have them but B & Q had some electric polishers for £15. Saves the elbows! |

And here's another:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&category=31357&item=4538160589&rd=1 (Be quick Ivan!) Despite the high(ish) mileage, it's got a good history and has had the body done. Just needs a few jobs so it could be a good project for someone... |

They're still standard 635s, at the end of the day.....
I know of at least one person who secured a running "Highline" for under a grand..... His secret's safe with me!
For this, you really need to get talking to a certain Mr. Ross Harris. He just happens to have considerable experience in the refurbishment of a "Highline", having spent....errm.... twenty grand..... Edited by Horsetan |

...erm most of it!
As a regular browser of the classifieds, all 635s over £5K seem to take some shifting as some really nice cars are still for sale - Kev's mint Motorsport is a good example. M6s appear to be selling well with even some wanted ads for good examples. A few have come up recently in the £6-£10K bracket and they've all sold quickly. Above that and the car would have to be exceptional. |

Are Highlines and Motorsport Editions easy to sell? What do they really fetch when poor/average/good/mint? Would £20k spent on a Highline be better to have spent on an M6 or M1? Is that £20k now dead money? |

The carpet looks ok, it's the dark brown overmats that look a bit dodgy. If it genuinely has had 20K spent then it should be mint. Could be an absolute bargain......or a minefield |
