Barn Find Rare 80s BMW M Sport survivor car untouched for 30 years - will it run? Welcome to another barnfind episode of The Late Brake Show where Jonny Smith unearths an exceptionally rare 1-of-7 BMW E12/8 M535I Lightweight homologation saloon, made only for the South African market. Found in the most unlikely of places in Chorley, Lancashire, UK, Jonny, together with owner Peter Harris and E12 BMW guru Tony Chamberlain (aka www.tonybmw.co.uk) digs out the survivor M car and tries to get the time capsule '80s super saloon running.
