My grandma still has a silver 740 that she bought with my grandad new in 1989, however it hasn’t turned a wheel since he passed away in 2008 and it’s been sitting on her drive ever since. I’d love to get it running again for nostalgia sake; I know she’d love to see it back on the road with me at the wheel. I was 1 in 1989 and I still remember jumping in the back on those icy cold leather seats when I was a kid. She lives a few hours from me so I want to plan ahead with what I’d need to do. What do you think I need to prepare for that? What things should I look out for and what replacement parts should I get in advance? It’s been sitting on concrete, not under a cover and has done about 90k miles. I should add, I don’t have any pictures; that’s beyond her technical capabilities I’m afraid! Thanks very much! Fred
