So i'm currently bidding on this, basically because it looks like my old one and looks in half decent nick. I am sober.

But it's in Glasgow, and i'm in Essex, and i'm on holiday as of tomorrow so can't see it.

Am i nuts?

22 years old, 150K miles, partial service history, unrestored, already up at £5.8K with 6 days to go, bidding unseen. Sounds fool proof.

Admittedly it looks very clean, but a “professional valet” will do that for you.

When I bought my E36 M3 I looked at every cars MOT history to see what failures and advisories they had each year and also to check for mileage etc...

I know they are going up in value and it does look original, but that is a very early one, and no a/c is a deal breaker for me.

The lack of AC is actually a very valid point. Problem is, I'm really struggling to find a tidy 3L coupe, which is what I fancy.
