Lot details

Registration No: R343 OES
Chassis No: WBAGE220X0DJ82854
MOT: June 2022

  • Supplied new by Grassicks Garage Ltd of Perth on 22nd August 1997
  • Arctic Silver with Marine Blue leather upholstery, Steptronic automatic transmission, air-conditioning, ASC, electric windows and light alloy wheels
  • Original book pack, stamped service book, numerous invoices / old MOTs
  • Unusually well-preserved E38 generation 7-Series

Styled in-house by Boyke Boyer, BMW’s third generation (E38) 7-Series is widely regarded as its best looking to date. Introduced in 1994, the newcomer was the first production car to feature curtain airbags. Notably more engaging to drive than its Audi and Mercedes-Benz rivals, the E38’s popularity was boosted by starring roles in ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ (with Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond), ‘The Transporter’, ‘Enemy of the State’, ‘The Game’ and ‘Transformers’ etc.

Finished in the handsome combination of Arctic Silver with Marine Blue leather upholstery, ‘R343 OES’ is described by the vendor as being in ‘very good’ (bodywork, paintwork, interior trim) or ‘excellent’ (2.8 litre engine, automatic gearbox, electrical equipment) condition. Supplied new by Grassicks Garage Ltd of Perth on 22nd August 1997, the BMW is warranted to have covered just 31,600 miles from new. Still wearing ‘Grassicks’ number plates, the 728i boasts nine service stamps (five main dealer and four specialist) in its service book. Said to be ‘a superb driving car with no known issues and a lovey interior’, we are further informed that ‘R343 OES’ comes with its full book pack, numerous old MOTs / service invoices, tool kit and a fresh MOT certificate valid until June 2022.
