Be good to find out a bit more about it from a previous owner!
thanks

Nothing constructive to add, other than that is one pretty little M.


You know what you need to do OP...
Haha, yep indeed. I'm hoping they'll be someone on here that appears with some history. I haven't approached the selling dealer yet - so to be fair they may have the 'story'....

Thanks for your observations TVRM's, appreciated. Just to be clear I wasn't asking for peoples opinions on it, but whether anyone on here was familiar with it/previous owners/any history. regards

Observations
Wiring needs a tidy, looks like it’s been colour changed without the engine bay being done. 14 year old resto and no chassis pics. Not a lot of details relating to the resto? Nothing about the paintwork.

Looks nice though.

It’s either a nice car at the money or no better than a running restoration. Need to view it rather than mess around with photo requests and asking what everyone else that’s not seen it thinks.

Harsh but true - if it’s as nice as it looks you’ll miss it. smile

I should have asked, can anyone please recommend someone for an inspection on this who is knowledgeable on the classics?

Thanks. Yep, spoken to dealer and no history prior to 2006 (which includes no history of restoration)!

OP your best bet is to have a chat with the dealer first, the right approach should find out a lot of what you need to know.
