Further to my earlier spotted post I just wondered how many M-plate S's were known about? I've only seen M515... at the factory and didn't know there were any others.

Cheers, Al.

Very nice, was that the ex Mrs Wheeler car, I was thinking it was M515 ... for some reason.

The one I saw was M809 ... or something similar...

Cheers, Al.

Hi Al,

She is indeed the one owned by Peter Wheeler and given to his wife. Where did you see the car last ?

M518 I saw on a factory tour in 1996 I think, it was sitting up on a container or something above head height inside where a few cars were parked.

M809 (or similar) I saw on Tuesday this week, may have been an S4 rather than V8.....

Cheers, Al.

I know a bit of history on M518 - it was stuck in storage a while with a few bits missing but was purchased by a previous owner who recommissioned it.
Very nice it looks too.

I'm a bit of a romantic at heart - so I like to think of the car as a plucky survivor.

Made at the end of '94 - I guess unsold and unwanted and given to Vicky. Used at customer events, then used for spares which is why my roof panels don't fit. Apparently left round the back to die for a while. I like imagine with the White Elephant. Then lost in storage.

I've been lucky enough to speak to the two previous owners - who naturally being S owners were lovely chaps.

But she's still going strong and we've all undertaken some restorative work.

That said - any stories you have about seeing the car I'd love to hear them.
