Always a sad moment when I see one these in a rough state. I've had three ,a 628 (!) a 635 and a M6. The latter was real gem and when I was working in the Bush (Australia) I could cruise along at 200+ all day.

E24 Parts are gold these days, especially in Australia. I hope you saved the electric headlight units too they are rare to find. The arms are one of the hardest bits to get.

Love the e24. Dad took me to collect it back in '82 from Parklane, still have the 'six by six' photo pack that came with it. The photos are hanging in my garden house. Wish I could afford to buy one but out of my reach.

If it's from Great Yarmouth it's a definite "seaside car", i.e. lots of salt water in the air to rust the car to bits. Was always told to avoid cars from the coastal towns.

Do you remember that time when people used to use small chocks to stop car wheels from moving??. Apparently you can use the stumps from chopped-down bushes as well. I'm guessing you could use those stumps to effectively stop a car, and I bet the car would even give up it's bumper before rolling OVER AN EFFING STUMP FFS. 😟

Good buy in my book. All old cars are disappearing now so if you’re into them and get the chance to buy a parts car paying over the odds is something that has to be done. You’re sitting pretty with the parts you need and also clawing back your out lay from others. All said and done it’s about keeping stylish old cars on the road and we all know that isn’t cheap!
