Opinions on vintage RedLine

[15Michaeljoseph]

Found these bottles amongst some tools and 318i parts at my uncle's house. He said they've been on the shelf unopened since at least 1990 or thereabouts. According to RedLine, they have 'no shelf life', and that could mean two totally opposite things.

what do you say fellas?

They're fine

If they are 20+ years old already, I would keep them unopened. I think it would be kind of cool to have a few 'vintage' bottles on a shelf of auto memorabilia. New bottles are cheap enough anyway.

No bottle collector wants the contents because it's the contents that ruin the bottle
