Default 740's....Who's got'em???

I'm noticing less and less of these cars on the road, there's 2 in the NW of NI that I know of, 1 is a diesel estate the other a 2.0 petrol with 256k on the clock at last MOT, so just started too wonder, how many still have these and what shape are they in? Is mine finally becoming a collectors piece??

Post a pic with the year model and miles, hopefully this will turn into an interesting thread...

1989 740 SE currently 187k on a B200E and in everyday use

Your car is the only example I have seen with that body kit fitted properly to it, very nice.
