About as unusual as buses in Norfolk, it will be interesting how quick they find buyers.

But I don't think one of them is an M400 wink and another has been up for sale for ages.

In that case, two aren't real M400s - one makes it clear, the other doesn't. frown

The 2 silver ones and a red one make 3, the other silver one a 3R.

I don't believe one of the grey ones is a genuine M400. BTW I do know of another genuine M400 that might be coming up for sale soon, but it isn't in the classifieds at the moment.

Surely now you see why the register is so important daisy? If you have indeed spotted a car being sold as something it isn't then well done!!!
(Nobleparts is a great source of info and even more so now pistonheads search facility has gone.)

yes I'm thinking of setting up an area for classifieds on NP where only owners can post, but will be viewable by everyone so ads should come up in Google searches. Do you want to be my guinea pig? - if so send me the details of what you want in your ad and I'll post it up and see whats happens. smile

Well let's just say I doubt George (node) will have any problems proving his car is a genuine M400. wink

Thanks, I try my best. I can see now why in some other marques, cars that are on their register command a premium, because cars that appear out of the blue are viewed with suspicion.

I am a bit confused, as I thought it was only the M400 they were making at the end,i.e 2006?

I can certainly vouch for Node's (George's) car. I am the previous owner and it is a fact that it is a real M400.

Hi Rob, I've found some footage of when we built you're car, ive still got the wooden blocks we used to set the shut lines, but I've had a good hair cut since then.

GLOL...that's classic. Love the right foot technique as well. Shame it didn't show fitment of the sidepods which is what turns anything into an M400.
You should re grow that mullet again biggrin
