Introduction
Jon Dixon
The 328 is a simply gorgeous car and this one presents excellent value for money.
The pricing of this car makes it a proper driver’s car – by that I mean you can use and enjoy the car without having to tie up a large sum of money. So don’t be put off by the category status – this is simply saying the money to repair the car was too much for the insurance company to pay out. It has since been professionally repaired and looks and drives like it should.
So faced with a choice of a ‘garage queen’ for £90k or a ‘driving machine’ at well under half that money. I know which one I’d go for and probably buy a small apartment overlooking one of the Italian lakes with the money left over, then enjoy and drive this car down there every summer.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Jon after meeting James the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Has the suspect gearbox internal fault been rectified as per the 2018 invoice and road test findings when the gear selector failed??
Thank you
Hi, I have had zero problems with gear selection since the May 2018 invoice you refer to and the car has had another full service since then earlier this year at the same specialist. Regards.
Hi James.
Could you expand a little on the reasons for the cat D status please. It mentions paint damage, was this fire related or an accident that involved panel/structural damage too? Are there any photos of the original damage as well as evidence of the repairs carried out subsequently.
Many thanks
Richard
Hello Richard, I understood at the time it was in a garage fire and melted black plastic dripped all over the paintwork. I had it resprayed and have sent some pictures in. Regards.
Hi James
So did you buy the car damaged and then have the car repaired? Do you have photos of the original damage and any invoices for the repainting work, I can’t seem to see any in the photos.
Many thanks
Richard
Hi, I sent some pictures of the repainting to be loaded to the site. The specialist (Autofficina) I bought it from included the repainting in the price before I took ownership. Regards.
Ok great, thank you very much.
Hi Richard, the images of the repair work (glass out respray) have been uploaded now. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
