Parked since 1989 - a Barn Find that Needs Rescuing and a New Home. Will it run?

Parked since 1989 - a Barn Find that Needs Rescuing and a New Home. Will it run? In this barnfind episode Jonny Smith is in picturesque Devon, to uncover a 1970s BMW that was parked 4 decades ago. The late owner bought it when it was 9 years old and parked it three years later. Now the family are ready to let a new owner buy it and hopefully resurrect it.
