Thanks all,
Yes they are quite a special machine, although they do make the 116 seem almost maintenance free in comparison, even the 6.9.
Hi RD, yes I do remember that. I remember that car going on and off the market a few times. I haven't seen it listed since, but do recall it being a bit over-priced at the time. This car I purchased is really a bit of a "barn find", and it wasn't even on the market. It was located by word of mouth through a friend of a friend of my stepdad. It has been sitting around since 1995, the year the rego expired.
My silver 6.9 will be going on the market shortly to make way for the 6.3 (I'm limited to the 2-car garage only unfortunately, for undercover parking), but it also means I can concentrate on sorting out the blue 6.9 without further distractions once the 6.3 is in a state where it can be left for a few months without further deterioration.
Anyhow, I've been busy cleaning out all the rat droppings, nests and other rubbish that has accumulated in the engine bay and interior over the last few decades and have taken a few pics.
