DESCRIPTION
A 58,000 mile 728 Manual... What a rare find. This BMW 728 four speed manual has had two owners from new who are actually related and there is documentation in the form of letters confirming this fact. The car has just come back home from Belgium, where it sat in a private collection and still has the original old style V5 along with all its proper handbooks and a stamped service book from when it was on the road. The car has been restored, although we are not quite sure at what point in its life, but it presents very well indeed today. It did suffer from overheating issues which this model was prone to at the time, however the engine was completely rebuilt by Burton Engineering and there is documentation to verify this. This is such a time warp car and oozes charisma. Being the base model it was supplied with only one door mirror, wind-up windows and no radio, but interestingly enough it does have an electric sunroof. Along with the original handbooks and history is a folder of receipts for work that has been carried out over the years.
