The bodywork has been repainted but shows signs of use, including cracks in the paint on the left front wing and peeling in the roof gutter. The paintwork exhibits normal signs of use. The underside has been restored and is in good condition, though the front shock absorber rubbers are damaged. The tires are in good condition (2023) and are usable for several more years.
The interior has been nicely restored, with carpets in excellent condition. The engine bay presents an honest appearance, reflecting an older restoration. Brakes require repair, as the left rear brake is less efficient with long pedal travel. The handbrake needs adjustment, as the left side is weaker. The electrical system has a defective horn; wipers, dashboard, and heater are functional. The brake light switch is broken, causing brake lights not to work. There is play in the front left wheel bearing, requiring adjustment.
Highlights include a professionally restored BMW "Baroque Angel," a very attractive interior in excellent condition, and a rare V8 classic with authentic character.
