Bodywork Condition The car is well-known to the Club and is in concourse condition. All parts of the carare cleaned and polished including inside the door shuts, wheel arches. The underside of the car is immaculate and is regularly sealed and wax oiled to prevent rust. There is no visible rust in the car other than a small bit of rust to the rear bumper chrome trim and can be easily cured. This does not detract from the overall superb condition of this car. There are a few minor small dents to the roof which can be removed by an expert. The current custodian takes great care to keep and maintain the car in this showroom condition. In my opinion is in superb condition and is a credit to the owner. The car is garaged and is not driven in the wet, hence the reason why the car is in such good condition. The car has just passed its MOT with no advisories.
Trim, Wheels and Suspension The car is colour-coded as part of the ~v1635csispecification and all trim pieces are in as-new condition. This includes the pieces around the side windows which are: very easilv damaged when front wings are replaced. The car sports a full tool kit and first aid kit which are in as-new condition. The original wheels are in first class condition with the TRX Metric tyres which are extremely expensive to replace..ihev are now retailing at 460 per tyre and are only available from Vintage Tyres. A new braking has been installed plus pads and discs. All rubber mounts have been renewed, as has the suspension and new springs and dampers. All these additions to the suspension have significantly improved the road holding and drive of this car. MOT Test Certificate \IOSI\ - -""'',.;.:;;-==--------~
Engine and Mechanical The car is very low mileage and has paperwork and full service history from new. The engine has been rebuilt by a very well known BM'W specialist with alillvalves and tirrring sensors renewed together with a new timing chain and a new clutch and starter motor plus a new radiator. The car starts first turn of the key and idles smoothly. The sports manual gearbox goes through all gears as it should quickly and smoothly. There is no evidence of smoke, overheating or valve wear. The car drives as it should with 87,295 miles on the clock. ' The engine bay j,s,spotless and has bee't:1well looked after. There' are no visible oil leaks on the engine, gearbox or diff. The car has a Limited Slip Differential, which significantly improves the way the car behaves.
Interior The pearl beige leather sports seats look like they are new and are in perfect condition. All controls and switches work as they should including the temperamental window switches. The car still has its original Blaupunkt head unit and has uprated speakers fitted. The interior is in fantastic condition and is a credit to its owner.
Other Information The car was sourced by the current Custodian 13 years ago from the original owner who had owned the car from new, other than two weeks that the supplying dealer, Sytners, had used the car in their showroom as a show car. When the current custodian purchased the car in July 1999, the mileage was 53,000 miles exactly. Having spoken to the owner, he informs me he has full documentation of the car with a spreadsheet showing all items purchased and all MOTs from new. The car is totally original, with exception of a stainless steel exhaust and uprated speakers. The car was built in September 1985 but was not registered until March 1987. I believe Sytners had the car for showroom purposes hence the reason the car was not sold for 1& months from the build date of September 1985.
Summary Overall the car is in first class condition and would be difficult to replace, especially with its provenance. The car is number 278 of 524 cars built. Normally, a good condition M6 would be in the region of 15,000-18,000, but this car is concourse quality. Thus the value is much higher. I have seen cars recently sell with lower mileages, but worse condition for more than 17,000. I would suggest a value range for this car of f19,oon - 20',0'00 and would suggest an insurance valuation of 20',0'00. The difficulty in valuing this car is finding a replacement if the worst was to happen. Finding another could take some time and I doubt it would be in this concourse condition. My valuation reflects the fact that values are rising and sourcing a similar car of this standard could take. years. Currently, Munich Legends, Classic Heroes and 4 Star Classics have. M635Csis for sale, but in my opinion, these cars are not of the same standard. IS$~I C;o1;lIO!luo; O!!.t2012 Body.
