both spotted in Bray - the Sierra just pulled in to the recycling centre today at lunchtime as I was getting rid of some bottles - I had to have a closer look!
3 door, 1985, it had a window sticker on the rear window with "Classic Deaf Club" (I think

Nice car, but would never buy a soft top, friend had a m3evo convertible was a disaster

They have a cabriolet set up, lift off hard top with folding rear section. Not really a problem if you have a garage. Mind you we don't get the weather.

Well spotted. To my mind €2750 seems like an awful lot of money for a baur needing some resto work though! Maybe I’m out of touch

Looks like a baur, still retains the saloon side windows and frame but with a soft top in place of the roof

Yes it is a Baur, they are quite rare.
About 4,500 were built and around half of that number are believed to survive.

Lovely cars.
What's it like as an experience?

kev1.3s · 16-01-2018 08:58AM

Well worth the admission, the first exhibit is a factory sanctioned replica of the 125s. I didn't take the pics because my phone died but got them off my friend. Not a huge amount of cars there but what was there were exceptional.

I have had e30 cabriolets for 16 years and the roofs were 100% reliable. Newer models even more so.

I didn't say they were unreliable

I know what you mean.
We just don't get the weather here for a convertible but the motoring experience in one is completely different.
It's a pity however to go through a lifetime of driving without having at least one soft top.
I'd say to anyone if you have a garage give it a go.
