Tetley Dave’s bought an E28

the secret's out, tetley Dave has bought an E regd 525e in Cirrus Blue. needs a little fixing up before its as clean as Randy's one

Randy's car recently suffered from the "big two". first the cyl head gasket went, then when he fixed that the tranny blew. thats classic cars for you, money pits on wheels

I seen them and it looks good needs a little tlc, but hay good luck to you Tetley

it died!!

 

Jonah & I stripped it in my yard, bits from it are now giving service in many other E28's chugging slowly round the UK!

Well I suppose a rotting stripped hulk is stretching things a bit far!

is that your house/mansion/garden in the background Goldie?

it looks beautiful!

why did the 6 have black paint below the moulding line?

Nice "6", hope she's still running!

People told you that looked awful??!! Do they have defective eyes? That looks like a very nice 6, can only hope someone is looking after her as all old ladies of the road should be looked after IMO.

Sorry lads, I've only just noticed this post. I'm so used to going straight to the 7 series section. Yup, finally got one, but theres a bit of a shopping list to go with it. I need a bonnet, passenger side front wing, rear bumper and one 14 inch BBS x spoke wheel & tyre. I will probably get a set of 15 inch BBS for it, but the priority is the bodywork. Apart from the bonnet ( damaged ) and wing ( rust hole ), it's a really solid car. Inner wings, sills, jacking points and boot interior all good, so there's something to work with. When I collected it on Monday 16th May, it had been standing for ages in the open, but it was bone dry inside, boot as well, so good news there. Someone has ripped the radio out and broke the piece of trim it sits in, so I'll need one of those too. I do have some photos of it, but I still don't know how to transfer them to this forum. I can send them by e mail if anyone's interested. Just let me know. Meanwhile, if anyone can help with the bits I need, this would be much appreciated. It surprised me and my wife how quick off the mark it was. It has a very noisy tappet, but hopefully that's going to be cured soon.

The car does indeed have a three spoke leather wheel, probably the best bit of the whole thing. There's not much left of the radio mount, just one broken piece of plastic, certainly no support bracket to take the weight. Curiously enough, there's one ashtray missing from the drivers side back door too. Why would anybody take that out?
