Who does full respray without removing glass wheels ,lights ,trim ,not very professional. how to spoil what could be a nice car
Why no pictures of it when it 1st came in, was in the prep stage before it was painted etc?
What “ skilled” sprayer masks up the filler cap, leaves the door glass frames in and loads of trim left in? Half a job but wants twice its retail price , no wonder pple bodge stags when so called professionals claim this is the correct way to do things. Unbelievable youve even posted this as an example of your work 😡😡😡
Wish still had mine from early 80s 🙂
Yeah that's nice and wonderful 👍😊
What is asking price £18995?

It's now easier to call 1st Choice Sports, Prestige & Classic Car Sales.
Here we have a BMW E9 CSI we own !!
This U.K. RHD car was lovely and indeed the previous owner who had a number of years had clearly kept it to a very high standard and frankly it wanted very little ..
He however decided to put it into a classic BMW restoration faculty for minimal works however they took his money made a complete mess of the car and then promptly went bust on him.
He arranged to have the car moved to another bodyshop in Gloucestershire called Tokyo customs .
At this point however and I am sure he will not mind me saying he became totally fed up and heartbroken by the previous fiasco he decided to sell as it was .
That is where we stepped in and we purchased .
It made sense as there was a slot at that bodyshop to leave it there and I asked them to quote us to do the works as our own restoration shop is so busy .
This they did and took a sizeable deposit from me .
However in December they went bust !! So we have no hope of getting that money back !!
So this week we managed to get the shell and panels out with a queue of others meeting the receivers and now it is with us and work has commenced ..
They had done nothing other than make a right mess of a door ..
We however are going to get this lovely car back to how it was and better ..
It will be for sale after ..
It is now thankfully where it should be with us .
We are in the process of finishing off another in silver we have refurbished and also had a CS same colour as this last year .
The first few photos are the car
The last 2 are a silver E9 with us getting finished now for a client and another blue E9 we finished last year ..
Lovely cars. This is one I'm restoring which belonged to my dad
This has always been the case with CSLs since the1980s loads of con men i restord 7 from those sources
Unreal story and what a nightmare! Sadly not unique these days 😑 Going to be an epic Beema when finished...🙏👌🙏
