Hi everyone I know I'm a newbie but I have owned various BMW coupes over the past 20 years.Ranging from my first 3.0 cs manual to my current daily hack an e63 M6.

In 2000 i bought RKD 505T a 633csi hallmark Amazon Green metallic with White Beige leather not everyone's cup of tea as regards colour but I love it.I then restored the car back to it's original spec the correct suspension,wheels,and front spoiler.

Some of you may remember the car from Heckfield 2003.A glorious day with a superb turn out of Bavaria's finest.A few weeks later the Liverpool Echo wanted to do a feature on the car,which I agreed too.I then received a phone call from an elderly gentlemen saying that he use to work part-time for Beechwood BMW in Liverpool and in November 1978 drove down to TWR in Kidlington to collect RKD 505T.On collecting the car he was given a certificate to say that RKD 505T was the 19th car out of 27.It was the driven up to Beechwood and placed in the showroom with a price tag of �20000.

Unfortunately I don't have the certificate I wonder if anyone has one and could verify this.Also I would like fellow owners of these rare cars to contact me so I can start to construct a register.At the moment I have information on  10 cars.Cheers Graeme.

Not sure where this Certificate ended up - might be a needle in the haystack

Another TWR "Hallmark" recently came up on eBay as a restoration / source of spares project, which people might well have seen! Red/maroon leather interior, with the "H" capping badges, etc.
