Clunk Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 9 hours ago, lesapandre said: Ah yes thanks - the 'B' was used in the J4 up to '74, Landcrab up to '75, the Marina to '78 and even the Sherpa to '78. MGB used the engine up to the end in 1980. Looking on t'web the diesel version of the B hung on even longer and built under licence in Turkey - and there was a marine version too - popular in narrow boats apparently. Possibly still in production in some remote factory 😂 Don't forget the Princess till '78 as well! lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not too terrible of a price for a 740i Sport, they certainly command a premium but also have so many more expensive issues. cort16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's been off the road for a while as the plate is now on a 730d who's MOT has also expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of chrome on the bumpers usually indicates it's a sport in the UK when it's a facelift afaik. Shadow line and style 32s (if original) would be another indicator. You'd also get the m tech steering wheel and probably a few other things, maybe even the black headliner. cort16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
