Mattts E23 BMW 7 Series Land Yacht?" What an exciting adventure you've embarked on, juggling projects and adding a classic to your collection. Your story is a testament to the allure of vintage cars and the love of the open road.

Firstly, it's commendable that you're investing time and effort into your "Corona" project. The decision to take it slow and do it right is a wise one, especially when operating out of a crowded garage. The anticipation of your new 4-bay workshop being built in the future must be driving you to ensure everything is perfect when it's time to dive back into that project.

However, every car enthusiast knows that it's hard to go for too long without something captivating to drive. That's where your impulse to acquire an old 7 series comes into play, and it sounds like a fantastic decision. It's not just a car; it's an experience waiting to happen.

Your connection with this particular 7 series, which you previously encountered on the motorway, adds a personal touch to the story. It's as if fate brought you two together. The fact that you reached out to the seller initially and then revisited the idea shows that the desire for this vehicle lingered in the back of your mind.  g

The negotiation process, where you offered 3/4 of what he was asking and he grudgingly accepted, adds an element of intrigue to the story. You managed to strike a deal that felt right for both parties, and that's the beauty of these transactions – they are as much about the connection between individuals as they are about the car itself.

The fresh warrant of fitness on the day you pick it up is the kind of pleasant surprise car enthusiasts dream of. It's like starting a new chapter with a vehicle that's ready to hit the road without any hiccups. The test drive, during which you must have felt the essence of this classic car, was probably the moment of truth. The 7 series, known for its luxury and performance, must have showcased its charm during this ride.

Finally, your decision to document this journey with a photo is an excellent way to capture the beginning of a new chapter in your automotive adventures. It's not just a car; it's a story in the making, and we look forward to hearing more about your experiences with your "Land Yacht."

In the world of classic cars and restoration projects, every acquisition has its own unique story, and yours is a delightful tale of seizing an opportunity, pursuing a passion, and adding a new chapter to your automotive journey. Enjoy the ride, and may your BMW 7 Series bring you many memorable moments on the road ahead.
