I'm regretfully listing my low mileage (65. 00 miles). one owner (before me) E12 for sale due to lack of use. The car was purchased from vintage Bentley and Rolls Royce specialists Overton Vehicle Overhauls in 2011. The car which had been serviced by Overton for many years was sold off by the estate of the original owner with the proceeds going to Children in Need.

The original owner was a South African businessman who used the car while he was in London. It spent most of the time either in the NCP underground car park under his top floor flat on Baker Street or at Overton being prepared for use.

After purchase I shipped the car up to marque specialist Andrew Everett who recommissioned the car mechanically (full details to follow).

As is quite often the way. a cosmetic refresh turned into a full restoration. with the work completed by BMW Stratstone trained technician Matt Summerfield at Body Motor Works in Chesterfield. I have a full photographic record of the work. which I can forward to interested parties. Anything which couldn't be repaired to factory standard was replaced (hence the new bonnet).

I'm still writing up the full list of works completed (to be added to this advertisement shortly). If anyone is interested I would recommend coming to see the vehicle in the flesh (it is garaged in Highgate North London – N6).

The 'photo shoot' type pictures (above) were taken for a Total BMW feature which should have appeared a couple of months back. Sadly the magazine closed the month before the feature was due to run.


. forgot to say. No advisories on the last MOT (last month). The car was also recently inspected by E12 guru (e12. de) Ulrich Thieme. He did a two hour photo session with the car as well. results will soon be up online at e12. de.
n. b. The car is listed for sale elsewhere. so this listing may end early.
