This is a very reluctant sale. The car means a great deal to me, but a change in circumstances now forces a move to something more sensible as a daily runaround. The car presents in excellent condition inside and out. There is only one known issues to note: the original radio's LCD display has recently started to lose a few pixels over the last month or so. In the 3 years of my ownership, the car has been lovingly maintained by Classic Restorations in Alyth (classicrestorations. co. uk), including professional repair of two small rust spots, replacement of suspension components, and a full retrim of the roof lining, which now looks factory fresh. This is a rare E31, and I have the documentation to verify its rarity and provenance for serious buyers. it is a one of 3 car, only 2 in this colour for the UK market and one for the German market. - rare even amongst e31s 70500 Miles!
