Just to update, visited the VRT centre last Friday to take my punishment.

The Japanese stat code was not on their system, I did have the UK stat code but was not acceptable.

So it's off up to Dublin for "review" so it's a wait and see scenario at the moment.

In the mean time I an tipping away with a few items than needed addressing.

Change the bonnet struts as the originals were not holding the bonnet up.

Changed the battery and coded it to the car .

Replaced the top windscreen seal, the old one was in a desperate state.

Changed out the front kidney grilles for a gloss black version, these may not stay as I am still undecided on them.

Front headlights are very hazy so going to get a restoration kit and give that a go.

Will do a full service one the vrt is sorted.

What I can say initially is I am very impressed with the condition of the car, especially the interior there is practically no wear anywhere.

Everything is there including the original bmw first aid kit, and the boot looks like there was never anything put in it.

I was also correct when looking at the pictures, there is a sports exhaust fitted to the car. A bit droney for me so it may not last on the car.
