Default Reunited with a classic after 18 years

Hi everyone,

Well, this is mine… again! It’s been 18 years since I last owned it.
its. South African assembled 1974 BMW 520 auto.
This is a car that I lost trace in 2008 and been trying to track eversince. Found again by my good friend, which I’m immensely grateful.

I have published the first video where I’ll be going over the general condition of the car and the plans I have for it:
