Starting with the most popular vintage car in modern Nigeria. The 1980s BMW E30 M3 - "Elder M"
Found in Ikeja by a Motorsport lover &properly restored with original BMW E30 parts
It will fetch between $45k &60k if exported to Europe before sale, we don't know the value here

Should I tell the story of how the owner tracked it for more than 13+ years, got it with spare parts, painted it, got offered $30k immediately he drove it out on the street? Drove to Ghana and back?

You know the popular and legendary beetle.
First frame shows the state before restoration. Parts were 90% original from EBay and other US websites.
The owner spent well over N1m+ in parts and let it go for N4m. Good bargain after all the stress if you ask me

About this 1980 Porsche 911 Supercarrera
The owner contacted me sometime in 2016 or 17? ( I don't remember
).
It had a gear problem but he still managed to sell for $10k and that's because he was desperate. He could have gotten more if he wasn't

Moving on, this is a 1975 Dodge Charger.
It sold for about N3m a few years ago I think even without the original engine, had a Nissan engine. The charger is one of the most iconic muscle cars from the 1970s alongside the Ford Mustang , the Camaro and the Dodge Challenger etc

We also have the 1960s Mercedes Benz 230SL W113, the successor to the ultra popular 300SL Gullwing and roadster from the 50s
This was sold a long time ago

Here's another special BMW, owned by the same person who owns the white E30 M3
An E34 M5 Touring, 1 of 1 in Africa, with only 891 made worldwide. An ultimate collectors item. There's also another interesting story to how he got it below
