You may as well chck the ad up here mate, I'm sure the 20 of us could each paint a part of the picture

I know that! Although if this is the bargain I think it is, it may be snapped up before i can get to it!

[jonnydm]

Well as its in the public domain (and I can't get there till Sunday am) here goes...

Its in Maidenhead, been owned by the seller for 3 years. Doesn't have much history and he had it serviced at local garages.

Chaps, do your worst! (And if someone wants to go and have a look on my behalf and report back...)

Get it bought!

[Output Flange]

Is that at the top end of your budget?

I wouldn't want to take that on without at least a £2k fighting fund, available immediately.

[Frik]

It's even resale silver!

[jonnydm]

Top end of my budget but a fighting fund would be available to keep it going. I wouldn't want to be throwing thousands at it though.

[jonnydm]

Something strange here - did an HPI albeit the cheapie one and its down as a 2.8, confirmed by the HPI website on its basic search. It very much looks like an ///M though!

[Chrisw666]

HPI it, if it is clear then get it bought.

Even if it is borked you can shove it on ebay and get out without any pain.

[Chrisw666]

The left hand tail pipes look upswept, the right hand ones don't.

[jonnydm]

So its just been incorrectly registered?

[jonnydm]

It is an R reg and various reading suggests they weren't being sold until '99 so maybe some sort of pre production version.

Didn't South Africa get them?

Get the VIN, or at least the last 7 digits.

[jonnydm]

Will hopefully be getting the VIN which should clear things up a bit.

[Fox-]

That seems worryingly cheap.

I must say its a surpising choice given your previous suggestions - its quite different both in terms of drive, bork and costs. If you want a Z3M Coupe is one from the bottom of the market prudent?

Presumably as its the same engine as the M3 Evo it has the same 3x the cost of a non-M Inspection services...?

[Eviltad]

Well its off Autotrader now Jonny. Hope you did a quickie sort out and deal.

[Eviltad]

And to add I can't believe there is not 1, but 2 £25k M-Coupe's on Autotrader at moment.

I'm desperately hoping that that LS400 has had its cam belt done.

How much is the car if you don't mind me asking?
