Description
An outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the cleanest surviving BMW E23 7 Series cars in the UK today. This 1983 BMW 728i has covered just 67,000 miles from new, remaining in the same family ownership throughout its life, and it shows in every aspect of its condition and drive.
Key Details:
- 1983 BMW 728i (E23)
- 67,000 miles from new
- 1 family owner from new (driver ownership within same family)
- Dry-stored throughout its life
- Practically rust-free with underside preservation
- Manual gearbox (smooth and precise to drive)
- Original documents, service booklets and period BMW brochures included
- Dolphin Grey Colour
Condition & History:
The car has been exceptionally well kept from new and remains in remarkable condition for its 42 years. Garaged and dry-stored all its life, the body, paintwork, and interior are exceptionally well preserved for age, while mechanically it runs faultlessly a true "turn the key and drive" example that never misses a beat.
Earlier this year, the underside was fully ice-blasted to bare metal and treated with Dinitrol high performance wax protection, ensuring it remains virtually rust-free and structurally excellent for years to come.
Mechanical & Drive:
The 2.8L straight-six engine is wonderfully smooth, with effortless power through the gears, true to BMW's reputation for refinement in the 1980s. The car pulls strongly, cruises comfortably at modern motorway speeds, and handles with the stability expected of a flagship 7 Series. Regular maintenance has kept it in superb driving health, making it as dependable on the road as it is admired standing still.
Exterior & Interior:
The exterior presents beautifully, free from corrosion and with paintwork that has aged gracefully. Trim, glass, and chrome details remain complete and well kept. Inside, the cabin tells the same story - original materials that have survived in excellent condition, with light, age-appropriate signs of use but nothing that detracts from the overall presentation.
Summary:
This is not just another E23 - this is a rare survivor in exceptional original condition, with incredibly low mileage, one family ownership from new, and professional underside preservation ensuring its longevity. Supplied with the original BMW documents, manuals, and period brochures, this is an unusually complete and authentic 7 Series package.
With its low miles, originality, completeness, and condition, this 728i is perfect for collectors or car enthusiasts.
