the wiring is indeed a mess, looks terrible, some parts are nice but some you wonder...
also no mudguards? so most is open to all road stuff etc, don't know how it now is, but at those time when the pictures were taken (when the car was for sale) it was not a great example, but the price was not that high.
I also have pictures of the more rusty parts, but not post those, they repaired those parts and those parts you see in some pictures (also a few more to come).

great to see biggrin I bet it was in a poor state, I've seen (have some pictures) some pictures of the chassis before some repairs.
but at the time those later pictures were made it was still not in that good state...also see how the exhaust fitting parts, the exhaust looks great, but using wire to hang it on and such 'clamp' and see the petrol cap rubber :-) to name a few, wonder how it is today.

I do like the headers, does anybody know where they were made?? The rest of the car is rubbish in my opinion.

another 'strange' animal, a base 2500M with 400 or 500hp (got 2 different notes)
It was for sale a while ago, and I was wondering at the time, why no side windows.
Guess it was more a lightweight build for track days perhaps?

Certainly when I took the second and third of those photos of Bert Zimmerman's blue and green M in 1995 it had a Sierra Cosworth engine not an LS. I have not heard that it has been changed, but it is a while since I have see either him or the car.
