Do quite like the 740, that V8 bay looks quite easy to get around.

It's more that everything is covered up. Looks neat and tidy but you have to dig for everything :y

So he has no time for viewings!, Hes got the time to take some nice photos and then time to to go to the trouble of deleting the Reg No. on each photo, but didn't have time to Charge the battery or even jump it to see if it will fire up because he just wants shot of it!!.

Walk James!

Even after 18 months of standing, as long its primed with fuel, oil and water in there, most BM's should fire up with the turn of the key with a fully charged battery in there, assuming of course it didn't have issues before hand.

There are plenty of 740's kicking around, some with LPG already fitted for obvious reasons, I think your right, I also reckon it will also go for around the 700 to 800 mark, but without a being able to view it and ideally start it up, and no MOT its a non starter (literally)

Unless I was having a bad day or at least knew the history on a car, I would never buy a car of the bay without an MOT, unless of course it was ad'ed as non runner, spares or repairs, and I wanted it for that reason.

Walk mate, and find something else, there's plenty of choices out there at the moment with our current high running petrol costs  ;)

Cheers for the sage advice mate

Wise words. If it wasn't the combination I wanted, eg colour, interior, and 4.4 v8, I wouldn't even be questioning it :(

Think your link was the 4.0 mate opposed to the 4.4?

I think he should keep it. Sounds like he'd make a great BMW driver. ;)

What practical difference, same bhp and virtually same torque  :-\ Nikasil no longer an issue, as any cars not rectified will have long since been recycled...

Im sure there will be a company that will cover you - at a price. ;)
I bought one of these in 1979,when I was 19. I then set about sorting out insurance,as you do when your 19. After a few small fibs and a bit of jiggery pokery,I got cover for third party only,for the small sum of..................£636. Which was a pretty tidy sum in 1979. ;D

Will probably just park it up and get it ready / LPG it so on my 30th I'm good to go!
