£134,995
SUMMARY
One of the three 1978 March run BMW Junior Team works cars.

Bought from a long term collection by the current owner and meticulously restored to 1978 specification.

Hangar 136's Take:
This is not a car for pootling around town in… it needs to be driven, and driven hard.
It’s raw, it’s tough and it’s fast. If you’re below 5,000 rpm then you’ve kind of missed the point.
But give it an empty road or a morning at Goodwood, and it’ll be hard to not fall in love!
