Hey all, Im looking for a pre 1977 BMW.

Could you guys give me a few suggestions as to what to have a look at and search for.

Reason being, I would like to restore the car and put it on the track as a classic car competitor at Killarney.

Suggestions?

I was interested in the 2002, swa one a while ago on Gtree but its gone now.

just a couple of things to keep in mind (from the WPMC website)

Classic cars are saloon cars manufactured prior to 1977. Quite a large latitude is allowed in the rules for modification however very strict control over the mods are exercised. In short, the cars must retain there original type engines which were 'period' i.e. available in their original format and cannot be substituted e.g. overhead cam technology instead of push-rod technology, or normally asperated instead of fuel-injection and vice-a-versa etc.

Hmmmm..... Nice option. But R45k is a little bit too much. I'm looking for one that's in need of a bit of work. Something that is priced less than R30k. It will break my heart to take a mint condition classic and strip it out and race it. Rather take something that wont mind if it gets rubbed in the corners!

I've got a 1970 BMW 2002 for you. It is still on the road, but needs quite a bit of work. I was going to tackle it until I found the left front chassis rail has a kink in it. It's not bad, and can be straightened. I've put it aside as I also wanted to turn it into a pre-77 race car, but my plate is too full.

R20k is what I'm in for. If you're keen, I can send you more details and some photos.
