Default 1988 760 turbo intercooler manual 100k

Ok so you may have seen my older thread, decided to rewrite it and tidy things up, and have pretty much decided i can't afford to keep the car, and i don't have the space currently.

So it's a 1988 760 turbo intercooler, manual 4 speed transmission with working overdrive. The car has just recently hit 100k so there should be plenty of life left in the car. it has grey interior all in pretty decent condition.
Electric/heated seats working perfectly, (at least driver's works perfectly, still very hot too! im not too sure about the passengers)
Since getting the car i installed a kenwood head unit, which has mp3 connectivity, DAB radio, etc, all that good stuff, and also installed 2 genuine speakers in the rear doors, (from a 940)
The car has just recently had a new ignition coil, HT leads, plugs, alternator. This was done by the previous owner, as the car was entered into some kind of charity even, where it was drive to holland and back, im told the car drove perfectly, and didnt miss a beat.
The car was also vinyl wrapped for the event, i removed this, it has left some residue around the car, i've not yet tried to clean it off, but i tested 1 spot and it seemed to come off relatively easily with just water.
this car is old, and there is some lacquer peel, particually noticeable on the mirrors, and on the drivers side arches (it looks like a repair/respray, some of it peeled off when i removed the vinyl)
Overall the car is in remarkable condition, even the headlight wipers work (both) as does the electric aerial.
I have driven the car for the past few months, and have never had any problems.
There are a couple of things that are annoying though; the sunroof has been sealed shut (not done by me, i assume it stopped working at some point and was just sealed for ease/price) it does not leak at all however. and the headlining was removed by the previous owner; i imagine it was sagging, and he also painted it blue. and lastly the horn does not work, now im not sure exactly why, i checked both horns, and they sound, at a guess its probably the clock spring, but i have never bothered to open the steering wheel, it never really bothered me, however i think it will need doing for the MOT.
The body is also in good condition, i couldn't see any exterior rust, only some small bubbles on the sunroof panel.

The car has just run out of MOT, and this combined with me getting a new job that requires a lot of driving, made me think I need something more economical, as you probably know the b230et is strong, but not very economical. So it only made sense to get something more MPG friendly. To be honest i think it should only need horn doing and possibly exhaust (its a bit loud, but ive never gone under the car to look)
The car is currently sorn, as it's off the road. I would definitely keep this car as a project, as its already in very good condition in my opinion, for the year, and a rare car to find now a days. But i really don't have anywhere to put it, situations/plans change and it forces a sale.

Any viewing is welcome, i'd much prefer it to go to someone on the forum, rather than the second choice of putting it back up on fleabay. But if it doesnt sell, that's where its going.

Price is £600 ONO, viewing is welcome, the car is in Tamworth, Staffordshire (B775AZ)
however I am only willing to allow test drives up the road, since its TAX/MOT situation.









































I don't think i've missed anything out, but if i have don't hesitate to ask!

-Matt

edit: also forgot to mention the car is climate controlled, and even the A/C still works!
