    Posted: 04 Apr 2013 at 7:52am
I have just found a BMW E23 735i in a barn and I would like to sell it to a good owner. It was in the barn for ten years and is in good condition for its age.
I did manage to start it, but can't get it started again, I gues the fuel was stale, I will keep tinkering as it sounded great whilst it was running.
It seems to be quite a high spec, it has electric seats with electric headrests, it also has cruise control. I was really surprised that it is a manual too.
It does need cosmetic work to make it mint, but it is not rotten and with minor work would sail through an MOT.
It does come with some spares too, including wheels and tyres.
The tool kit is complete and includes spare bulbs.
Is anyone here interested in making me an offer for it as it is?
It will need to be towed away as it is not taxed and tested.
Happy for people to come and look at it by prior arrangement. I am near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire.
Thanks

Hello guys, 

Appreciate that this is years after the original post, but THAT WAS MY CAR! I sadly had to let it go as was given a company car back in 2003, and am really excited to see it. 

Have popped the registration into the DVLA website and see it's now back on the road.

Does anyone know anything about its current owner? I loved that car & would dearly like to try and purchase it back from the current owner. have tried asking DVLA but they are unable to assist. 

Any info would be gratefully received!

Thanks & fingers crossed,
Ed
