That's where my money would be going! I love E9s, a CS or CSL would be sublime.
What year was that out of curiosity mid 80's ?My favourite BMW is the E9. There were some nice ones at NEC. All around 150k though. ‘Boat’ and ‘sailed’ are the words for me though.
Pity I didn’t have 4K when I was 13 when I took this pic…..

Giving age away but it was early 80’s I am guessing, a bit. It was only double the price of the chevette estate!What year was that out of curiosity mid 80's ?
Getting offers for the SZ and Fulvia already
Too many tempting cars to buy, not enough time! (or space, or cash….)This beauty was also at the NEC, I was very drawn to it but the £145k price tag was an eye opener, and looking very closely at it some of the exterior trim it looked like it still needed work...

Having daydreamed my way round the NEC for two days I'm now in the same boat as Zagatos, I'm looking at my three classics and trying to decide what to do. While the Biturbo has been away I 'accidentally' bought another Mk2 Mini Cooper which is filling the Biturbo's place in my garage (alongside my Mk2 Cooper S), so when it comes back from Migliore it will have to live on the drive, not an ideal situation at all. As for what I'd buy if I sold the Maser and Cooper, I'm drawn towards Lancia Betas Montecarlos and Fulvias, Maser 4200s and QPVs and not for the first time Series 1 Jag XJs and early XJ-Ss. My head is spinning quite a bit!

I’m so sorry to hear this, especially as from what I remember two of your cars are LHD. If there’s any help I can provide let me know.Got hit by a Land Rover Discovery whilst out walking which broke both my arms back in July, it has taken sometime to get mobility back and still don't have enough strength in right arm to use a LHD gearbox or in either to steer a car without power steering.
The silver one has already sold IIRCThese caught my eye there was a greenish / yellow CSL as well but both were pricey to what I have seen elsewhere

The cars being considered are
BMW E9 3.0CSi, or with a push a CSL
or alternatively a Pagoda SL, not overly worried about which engine
