1979 BMW 728 For Sale

Your chance to own an interesting BMW is here.

Originally bought by a Police man in 1979, this 728 has been well cared for.

It was sold to a family member who moved to Belgium to open a LandRover dealership. While here it was completely restored (folder of faxed invoices to backup) and the engine sat as a show piece in the showroom for a number of years waiting to be mated to the car.

Once finished it was kept in Belgium for a number of years before being sold back to the UK. It was dry stored in the UK by a gentleman who kept a number of luxury and sports cars. When he moved house, some of the cars had to go.

I bought this in July last year and it has required a few bits since then. The Solex carb was worn and warped so it was completely rebuilt by McNamaras in Dublin: a carburetor specialist. The tyres were 25 years old and although still in good nick were changed 200 Kms ago. The car is almost perfect.

The only real bad on the car is the drivers seat which is need of a small repair to the base of the seat. The cars sits now in dry storage with about 60, 000 miles on it. The speedo stopped working at 58, 440 miles not long after it was last MOT'd in the UK before I bought it. There is also a rust bubble at the sunroof which will need tending.

I have done a road trip around the North of Ireland in it and since the carb rebuild it is a very pleasant drive. All of the electrics have been replaced, plugs, leads, rotor and dizzy cap.
