As is the done thing when bored, I was browsing the classifieds when I stumbled upon this:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3599931.htm

It was lovely, the colour, the condition. Looked very nice, and have always admired these shape M3's.

However, I had never heard of Williams doing a special of it. So off I go to google, and in one of the first searches I find this advert:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3332385.htm

They seem to be the same, however the older advert has more miles on it. I assume the one "sold" is older, but it has over 50k miles on, and a picture of the build plaque, number 23. Then in the newer one, it says it's the only one with a manual and is number 23! But this one now has less than 50k miles on.

Is this not a bit naughty!? Had I been in the position, I would seriously consider the car in the first add, it looks immaculate and the rarity is a real pulling factor. But then seeing a what seems the same car, for £2k less, with more miles on it, that makes you think, doesn't it? What's the deal here? Or am I blowing things out of proportion for the sake of 1500 miles?

'Designed by Frank Williams'??? Wonder how much input Frank actually had?

Those seats are utterly gopping.
