Expired Z3 potentially for breaking

[cheeseandbeans]

Hi all. I have first refusal on this artic silver 1.9. I wanted some roll hoops and noticed this had them and I thought I would break the rest for spares if there's enough interest to recoup my money? Anybody potentially need anything off it?

Here's a link to the car.

So did you buy it? The ad says it's been sold! JIM

I've put a deposit down on it. Just putting the feelers out now to see if there's enough interest for selling parts off it?

I'v just done the same, Bought MOT failure, Emissions on a 1.9 with sports leather..

Are you planning on breaking also? The thing that puts me off slightly is the bonnet and passenger door being damaged.

Going to clean it up and see if it looks a seller.

I've sorted the emissions out already so putting it up for MOT later.

If it doesn't look the business then I will break it also.
I paid a bit less than you but even for your price their are plenty of bits to sell on.
Bonnets and doors are ten a penny anyway really. It's the little bits that will make you money..

The bits everyone wants are clear lights, roll bars, wing mirrors and Sport seats. Anything else is a trudge through.

The approach I've taken is my breaker is a source of spares for my cars and if I can help anyone with a spare then I'll offer it and recover some of my initial spend like that over time. Too much effort for me purposefully breaking a car to sell!

I doubt very much you will take much in the way of 'pre-orders' for this car. Sorry to say.

When I bought my breaker it drove so well on the way home I started talking about doing it up. But every panel was shot which meant it wasn't worth it.

Mine passed the MOT with no advisories so a seller.
