Meet Hugo the Big daddy of the M series BMWs, He's a E12 M535i.
Heres the first pics, from the garage he was in for the last 13 years, to getting home and washed, polished the bonnet and roof, came up quite well.
Got some rust on the body, needs rear arches, the boot looking at, hole in the bottom of the N/S wing and sill.
First owner of Hugo was Andrew Lloyd-Webber

[Sphinx]

How did you find that then?
Looks like it racked up a few miles before it was put in storage but still, hell of a find

132k not too bad for a 31 year old car though :thumbsup

That's what I'm saying, it was probably a daily driver to do 132k in the 18 years before it got stored so it makes you wonder why they stopped using it.
Not a dig at all, just making the comment

Oh also, how did you hear about it?

Well done plumb and big up to ya mate

A nice low miler as well and looks original, sits good as well considering its been laid up so long.

Im sure youll get that tip top in no time.

Is the condition as good as you hoped like?

132k aint much in 18 years either, he stopped using it because the boot lock broke and he had a range rover aswell so used that instead.

He's one of my customers and he showed me it in his garage a few months back when I was working at his house.

I think I was suprised that it was better than I had hoped it was going to be really.

Restore it and sticks some 17" BBS LMs on Lewy, story the old wheels after they have been refurbed.
