Well as I've remained a "silent stalker type" on here since i joined i thought , now would be a good time to say hi !!
I joined here looking for a 320 to restore and drive to reminisce the days i used to have a silver model reg NCF823X, with 2 owners from new, factory alloys,close ratio 'box sunroof, full service history, and only 2 owners from new.....anyway that car failed an mot and got sold to an ex work colleague '( due to the middle aged-boy racer-ness of this colleague i kept all car history, as i knew he'd either chuck the lot or lose it ,yes-monkey !),this story is going somewhere !!! honest !!!
In conversation with one of my work mates, he informed me that he knew of an e21 that's for sale , and yes it's mental cheap.........and yep you've guessed it ....it's NCF823X, so here I am going to view it ( and all beig well!)8 years later buy him back this weekend :) don't you love a happy ending !!!
