Every panel has been changed, bar the front bumper. Yes, those ill-fitting lights are an Audi A4 Avant, who commissions a car like this in 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone pointed out that the headlights don't match. Two different types of E30 light on the outside one. The Blenheim 3 which went on sale in 2000 saw the abandonment of the vertically mounted Bedford tail-lights in favor of the split units from the Opel Senator B Sudsprint and Aston Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I much rather have an actual FX4 as my hypothetical wedding car then one the above! no, no, no, what you want is an FL2 The Austin FL2 Hire Car was the limousine version of the FX4. Introduced at the same time as the FX4, it was aimed at the private hire, limousine and funeral trade and this market was the main reason why the petrol engine was offered in the vehicle. It had forward-facing occasional seats, a second front seat and carried no roof sign. Alusilber and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Laurence Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 The Baur TC3: I can’t seem to find a source for when this was made, it seems to be either 1985 or 1987 depending on where you look. Based on the running gear from an E30 BMW 325i in a tube frame chassis, the project was cancelled after BMW announced the Z1, as the two cars were aimed at the same very niche market. Only one was built. motorpunk, Austat, Quintus and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Laurence Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 And similarly, the Baur TC4, a 4 door E36 with a 2CV style fabric roof. Unlike the TC3, these were technically mass produced, but weren’t popular; only about 300 were made. I can’t seem to find any evidence that these ever made it to the UK or anywhere outside of Europe, but I’m happy to be proven wrong. adw1977, Dan_ZTT, 17-Coffees and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
