Seriously though, congratulations are in order. I am currently spending way too much time looking for one of these on eBay. I think that one of these will be my next toy.........beautiful cars.
Word of caution though, these cars can be rather fragile in the rear subframe mounting area, in common with several other BMWs. Take a good look under the carpet and false floor in the trunk. Examine the spot welds. If there are cracks around these welds you may be in trouble, and further checking is needed.
Some really good news here is that Randy Forbes, a BCF member and denizen of the Austin Healey board, is a specialist in these cars. He's in Toledo, OH and he fixes these issues on the cars all the time. He can tell you what to look for, where to look, and he can even sell you the parts to fix it, or do it for you if needed.
Check out this thread. Quite coincidentally, I was reading the thread when I noticed your post.
