catsinthewelder Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 No photos from me but what a cracking weekend. Many thanks to Mr+Mrs C for wonderful hospitality and Talbot for lending me a tent. Looking forward to the next one.

Six-cylinder Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Of all the broken things I have it was the electric assist bike that @catsinthewelder brought over that got my attention today.

E28 BMW 528 Ci, 2788cc Reg number, B214RLM, Alpine white, first registered March 1985. Pleased to say it is still taxed and MOTd, to July this year. Still looking for the mag. The car was left unused for several years. The person I bought it from was a journalist, or friend of one, and wrote an article about re-commissioning it that was published in late 1990s. It was from that article I put an offer in, and it was accepted. I had it for 3 -4 years, and enjoyed it. I was informed by a BMW specialist that where the bulkhead and front of floor joins it had rotted out across the width of the car, as well as other areas, and repair was "not practical" . Obviously that was not the case, as more than 10 years on, it is still on the road. I know that mag is somewhere! Found a pic of it here on AS https://autoshite.com/topic/34102-bramz-photos-of-2020-a-bit-of-pick-and-mix/ Also here; https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BMW_528_registered_March_1985_2788cc.jpg And here; https://bassclef141.wordpress.com/2019/08/01/uxbridge-charity-autoshow-2019/ @Six-cylinder @Snake Charmer @bramz7 Crackers, Six-cylinder and Mrs6C 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
