Not quite true - depends on where in the UK the car has lived. My GTS 5spd was a South England car and despite 190k km on the clocks was very clean underneath, however, a Scottish car driven in Winter would be terrible because of salt on the roads. The same applies to NRW in Germany - my brother bought an ex-BMW brochure E36 325i Coupe Sport and it had a lot of rust underneath...

Quick update: the car has been painted yesterday! It was an emotional moment to see it back to its original color, and I personally love it!

Hi everyone

I had the chance to take a few more pictures of the 928 #55 finally re-painted

It looks gorgeous ! Can't wait to see it with its brown pasha interior.

Wow. I thought the color would be interesting, but it is way beyond just that.
