Hi all,

I havn't been on this site for a while and am now considering buying a Series 3 88 SWB. Details are as follows:

This has been stood for probably 10 years in a garage. It use to run before it was put away years ago. Its in overall good condition with very little rust. The body is also very straight with minimal dints.

It currenty has a 2.25 diesel fitted however the original 2.25 petrol is in the boot if I wanted to swap back.

I would like to know if this is worth buying and what things could I expect to be wrong with it. Would you say 10 years without use is going to be a bring up tonnes of problems with it?

Help please????

New Battery, New Tyres.
Clutch/Brakes might be seized.
Change oil and filter before starting, turn it over before trying to start it.
New brake fluid.
Fresh fuel & filter.
If it's been kept inside and is relatively rust free, then why not buy it.

What could I expect to pay? £200 is cheap right?

£200 sounds good, if it is completely fubar then you could scrap it in and get your £££s back
