Sold my E39, going to look at a S1 325 vert this weekend. Haven't had a S1 or a vert or a M20 before, what notable stuff should I look for? They rust bad I know that, timing belt neglect, what else?

I hear tops are expensive, and in AUS your UV problem is probably as bad as or worse than it is here, so the seals, rear window, and top, may be on borrowed time if the car wasn't garaged for its entire life.

I’m guessing it is for sure that, series 1 aka early.

Other places calling things other things always interests me.

"car park" is the worst one

Are the cars going on the swings or what

What's an S1? An early model?

m20s are pretty solid.

Basically look at the timing belt history. Open the oil cap and coolant rez and see what it looks like in there.

See how she runs and what temp it runs at.
