A wall clock from 1780-1790, made by Kjeding in Stockholm. It suddenly stopped, who wouldn't after all these years. I could see a service history on a note, the last time was 1984..

So I did it and here it is, new bushings and the original puller to be able to tell what time it is when it is dark, it is the tiny ball down to the right.

It is a big one, around 60 cm top to bottom and 40 cm left to right.

Here in Greece if the car is new there is no inspection for 4 years ,you do it every 2 years after wards but you have to have emissions inspection every year.The insurance company does not care if the car has past inspection or not but for the last 8 years its a crime to drive with out insurance,you only got a penalty fine before that. If you are caught without an inspection you have a 400 euro fine but it will be reduced to 50 euros if you inspect the car with in 10 days.No emission inspection is 100 euros fine which you cant reduce.
To get inspected you can go to government inspection point or private authorized inspection points.
Got carried away and forgot to ask is the car ok with out problems ? Probably the electrics might need a boost from not moving for so long! Its a classic car have fun with it. A 1988 325is was my first ever car when i was student in the US.
before u could get this yellow taxes and put on every car u want, some years back they change it only for a specific car. I guss it is all about money

it was the bmw E30? a great car too now a classic one. my first one was the bmw 328i E36

Yes the good old "boxy" car years.Car was nice and had torque but handling was just average .
I also had an 850 in 1992 smooth ride and too much tech for 1992 ,used cars were cheap to get back then in the US ,their value was dropping to almost half after 2-3 years due to massive new sales.Its not the case anymore.I never got a BMW again not due to any fact just didn't happen .most ones i liked had big engines and in my country its almost a crime owning anything bigger then 2.0 liters .For a decade it was fine then they changed it again .I had a c63 AMG wihch i had to sell due to the insane tax i had to pay every year for being a 6.0!Come to thing of it i could have just kept in a garage for 25 years then get historic plates !! :lol:

the 850 was the most modern car for that area, a nice and beautiful ride but also wit a lot of electrical problems.

My greek friends also complain about the taxes and all registered their cars in germany and every two years the bring it back here for the tüv

Same situation is in Serbia... For 6.0 litres, tax is insanely high, maybe about 1500 up to 2000 euro per year.. Remember avg salaries here are far from EU...
