I regret the day we sold our one. Ice white, immaculate with shweeet 17' Ewings on her!
How much restoration could your one possibly need if she's only got 7000kms on her! She's a keeper bro, dont let this one slip through your fingers!
Post some pics please! Pictures just does it for me!

Aaaah, but not an e12 version I bet. The e28's and e12/28 versions are not as scarce and sought after as the e12's. It's like comparing an M3 to a M3csl - no comparison I'm afraid:nono:
Using my cell so its a bit tough to post pics, i'll try soon.
Even though its only done 7000km it hasn't been started in 15 years and its been outside exposed to the elements for about 5 years. Private message me if you have contact details of who could help me out. Shouldn't be too much work... Should it?

Yours is the e12/28 (e12 body and mechanicals with e28 interior). The e28 was first built in Jan 85.

The rest of the world went to the e28 in '81. SA retained the e12 body and mechanicals and used the e28'3 interior until '85 when we caught up with the rest of the world. This hybrid was referred to as the e12/8 or e12/28.
