Re: How do you find out the year your car was manufactured
You take the 2 letters before the numbers from the chassis number.
Example; WFOAXXGABAFM12345 The manufacture code is FM which translates to March 1985.

Re: Sunroof - What Can Happen
Edited to add that it’s on eBay and they want £3k. Twice that will buy you a very tidy example…. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265734247209?hash=item3ddefed329:g:wCIAAOSw9X9iphW8 Low mileage or not I would rather buy this for £6k https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134146773667?hash=item1f3bc552a3:g:8hoAAOSwwV...

Re: Sunroof - What Can Happen
Judging by the pics, I think £1200 was good
Most owners/sellers want too much for their cars now
There was an XR4i at a show on Sunday, average condition and the owner wanted £11k
With current prices it was worth £5k all day long, a few years ago half that.

Re: The queens fly over .
Flew right over our garden, not my pics but a couple over Devon today.
Couple of Spitfires around too, Red Arrows should be over about 17.00

Re: Window winder handles
You would think 12 o'clock when closed would be good, but they were probably just put on in any position.
As mentioned above both doors have to be the same

Hi Andrew,
No it's a later one than that, not too sure on BMW facts, but after a search it's a E60 M5.

Re: I dropped my biscuit in my tea .
Soon the Capri will be worth more as parts then just the car :?: It's good that these items are still available and at least with bids you can choose your limit, but still not cheap. The RS wheels are great and you can't beat nice clear stampings, so many lose that when refurbed. Even so for that p...
