Not much with my car, but a neighbour brought a B7 over and we went for a drive. What a thing! Lovely car that goes like a stabbed rat!

Changed inner rear light clusters on B10 Touring #047

Mine were terribly faded, crazed and cracked. Ended up with an “as new pair” on the replacement tailgate I bought for #004 - with #047 being an LCI model they were the correct ones - probably saved £80 on buying a pair plus they’re genuine BMW.

Forgot to take a pic of inside the cap but that's had the correct replacement stickers in too 👌

Hap,

The B7 is a LHD ‘72 plate car that Jaguar Land Rover is using as a comparison car for their models. It appears to be Carbon black with lavalina leather and alcantara headlining. Lovely spec car.
