Registration No: C784 HRH
Chassis No: WBAEC820508186951
MOT: February 2023
Finished in Bronzitbeige Metallic with Perl Beige leather upholstery, chassis WBAEC820508186951 was built on December 2nd 1985 to right-hand drive specification. Boasting a leather rimmed M-Sport steering wheel, air conditioning, electric sunroof, switchable four-speed ZF automatic transmission, front sport seats and star-spoke alloy wheels, the BMW was supplied new via Hartshill Autos of Newcastle Ltd and first UK registered as ‘C784 HRH’ on February 1st 1986. Bought by the vendor as a company car four years later, the 635CSi remained in regular usage up until the mid-1990s. Last main dealer serviced by Wollaston Motors of Northampton on December 18th 1995 at 85,439 miles, the four-seater has covered a further 5,000 miles over the course of the past twenty-two years. Looking decidedly period thanks to its Alpina ‘B10 3.5’ badging, M-Technic style bumpers, Zender side skirts and body-coloured headlamp surrounds, ‘C784 HRH’ started readily during our recent photography session. Entrusted to Richards German Car Specialists of Northampton for a thorough recommissioning during 2021, the BMW received attention to its fuel system (tank flushed, new pump and sender), brakes (new front and rear discs / pads plus handbrake shoes and longitudinal pipes), ignition system (fresh distributor cap, rotor arm, spark plugs) and cooling system (new radiator, fluid change). The underside was deep cleaned with repairs being made to the inner sills before a fresh coat of underseal was applied. The bodywork benefited from a partial respray following some remedial attention and wheelarch corrosion treatment. Four fresh Michelin TRX tyres were sourced, new engine mounts installed, a replacement battery fitted and a full service carried out. Expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale and coming to market for the first time in thirty-two years, this much loved 635CSi is accompanied by its original book pack, BMW Quality Control Card, JVC stereo handbook and numerous invoices and bills.
