Devinda_Z Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 machan thats a rather broad list - all down to definition of what an individual would deem "collectible" its far too extensive to list and even then doubt what ever list complied would be exhaustive we could help in terms of saving yes or no to what may or may not be in SL if you put down the names of stuff that you would want to know about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pericles Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 And I'm guessing the Classic Car Owners club would be the first place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rukster Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Any idea how many BMW e36 convertibles are existent in the country? or even 2 door coupes? would love to convert to an m3 from imported parts of a stripped down e36 m3 I have seen three E36 coupes and two convertibles. Not sure if I have missed any. Coupes— all three are black—318i, 325i and 323i. The 325i was recently rebuilt from what it was and looks smashing! Convertibles—One blue and the other a Techno Violet if not mistaken—Both very well maintained Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) There's also a beautiful gold 635 (or was it a 633) with a M-body kit. Its one of the biggest collections in SL sitting hidden away... Said to be mechanically sound; though hasnt been taken out in a while.

gunat Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hows that Purple (or was it dark blue) 8 series BMW doing? Not sure if it was the same car...but i saw a red one a few months back. I think it had a older number plate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 635 is a jem to have. An expensive affair to restore and maintain. Here are five clips from a program called Wheeler Dealers of a 635.

harshansenadhir Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Heck as far as old bimmers go, there is even an Isseta around. yeah, shocked myself when I first saw this in an exhibition. Further, I've seen two of 1 series(?) cars on Negombo road, can't recall exactly whether they were 1500 or 1800. A blue one and a red one.
