This BMW 700 really is in fine shape, The body shell is in unrestored condition with no corrosion, and has never needed any welding or panel work.
The running gear is in fine fettle too: great engine, recent brake overhaul and carburettor rebuild.
The interior, though, would benefit from some attention to bring it up to the standard of the rest of the car.
The BMW has hardly been used over the last 10-12 years.
