The entire trip between these two places is 350km and it rained the whole way and I mean rained. Had the wipers on full and lights the whole way. 1km from home the car quit and had to be pushed off the road. Turned out the battery had drained as the voltage regulator couldn't keep up with all the current being drawn down.
Had my mum come and bring us a jumper pack to get us on the road her local BMW garage, which of course was closed!

Turns out it's an unrestored 74 CSi. Looks to be all original under the bonnet with original carpets and a load of paperwork in the glove box. Has been off the road for some time but I'm told it competed in the first couple of Targa Tasmania's in the early 1990s. I have the Vin but it's not in the registry.
After doing some blockies in my CS he's going to get it back out on the road again.
