Just noticed I have put capri, He said its a Cortina Mk3 1600gt in yellow.

I think from what I can remember it looks like this.

Did pop in but he was not in. I will try again tomorrow.
I am sure he said a mk3 1600gt but I could be wrong. The only other thing was he said its yellow.
Andrew

I will pop in and see what it is and grab a few photos

An old guy I know has one of these in his garage its been there for the last 10 years.
I saw him today and hes on about getting it out so he can scrap it. I Just wondered if anyone on here knew if they have any value?

There is a nice blue one for sale on the m3cutters site at the moment has a hardtop to go with it too.

From reading on the m3cutters site it seems a fair few have had this done foc under warranty.

Not sure about the history for the subframe repair but I would look at a 2004 on car that has the bodywork warranty. It could come in handy as it seems a few of these are going a bit rusty round the edges.

I think the running service was important to keep the original warranty, but know most cars are out of warranty I dont think its that big an issue.

Hi, Just got one of these and love it. I got a 2004 cab. I came from a 2005 Evo 8 so was a bit worried that it was going to seem a bit dull compared but for everyday use for me its a much better car. The inspection 2 service is the big one and I have just had to have it done @£850 but I did get quot...

Hi I dont use the car that much so not to bothered about the cost of fuel. I do like the E46 M3 Cab's but I keep getting drawn to the newer 335's. There doesn't seem to be that many 335's for sale at the moment. Dont spose you know what year they changed to a single turbo? Thanks I will check out th...

Thanks for the replies. I dont like the 1 series so it would be an 2006/2007 335 or an 2005/6 E46 M3. I like the convertible 335 as it has the hardtop its cheaper to insure and supposed to be good on fuel but its not an M3. I think I need to drive both and make up my mind, but just wondered if there...

Looking at getting one of these and just wondered if anyone has any experience of them. They have come down a bit now and I have seen a couple of 335i coupes within budget I know the diesels are supposed to be good but its the petrol one I am more interested in. Also is the Idrive a deal breaker? Th...

Looks like he's making good money out of ripping people off. http://www.greekville.co.uk/Special_M3s_for_sale.html

Looks like it is Tony as Spadge said. http://www.gumtree.com/london/28/59343228.html

I Had this on mine. The central locking unit down in the drivers side footwell was full of water.

Nice one its andrewt.kellyw@virgin.net
As far as I know that was its original plate why do you ask?
Andrew

Hi, No I sold it to a mate that lives in Cardiff. It was a very nice car. When I bought it the drivers door had a big rusty hole in it and it had what looked like paint stripper marks on the drivers side wing. I had the car resprayed put the alpinas on it and then sold it a few months later to fund ...

Hi, I used to own this about 6/7 years ago.
I bought it in need of some tlc but it was a very solid car.
I spent a fortune on it and then sold it to my mate.
Did you buy the car from Cardiff?
Andrew

Cant see what the vat registration would have to do with it or the amount paid. I had to go through a similar thing with an e30 convertible I got from a dealer and I am sure it all boils down to fit for the purpose. The first thing you should do mate is phone your local trading standars before you d...

Thanks, When I did the Hpi check it showed that it has been on the same plate since it was first registered in this country. The car has a production date of 10/1997 and it was registered here 03/1998. The car will have a fresh mot so not too worried about that.

Hi I am on the look out for an e36 convertible. I have found a nice 328i but when I did the hpi check it says it was imported from outside the eu. I have spoken to the guy thats selling and he seems to think from the service book it was imported from new from berlin. I dont mind the fact that its be...

Thanks, I have found a nice 328i 1999 with a good spec for Ã‚£5600. Its done 106,000 miles but has full bmw history and only 1 previous owner The thing is now I cant make up my mind on a 323/328 or going all out and getting the M3. I have found a nice one 99k N plate non evo Ã‚£5600 with a hardtop. ...

Looks like it he has just sold it for Ã‚£2450.
Cheers, Andrew

What about the early M3, non Evo? I wanted to go for as new as possible, that was my reason for going for the 328 rather than the M3 in the first place, but if its going to cause me trouble I would rather go for the M3.

Thanks for that, The one I am looking at is a 1999T so no Nickasil problems.
Is the headgasket going a regular thing on these then, if so would I be better off going for an older one thats had its block changed?
Cheers, Andrew

My E30 325i cab got writen off last year and I am on the look out for its replacement. I am looking at getting an E36 328 cab as I cant find I nice E30 without paying a fortune for one.
Has anyone gone from a E30 to an E36, if so anything I should know before I go and buy one.
Thanks, Andrew

Thanks very much, I will find out what he is going to do and report back.
Cheers, Andrew

Thanks for the info I will pass on the news.
Would it be easy to shift all the bits if he does decide to break it himself?
When you say 1500-2000 for the engine does that price inc gearbox loom diff etc.
Thanks, Andrew

Ok thanks mate, all the damage is to the rear, car still drives fine.
He did say he wanted Ã‚£3000 for the car complete so it sounds like he should get this figure for it?
Andrew

A mate of mine has just had his E36 M3 evo saloon writen off. He wants to sell the car complete rather than have the trouble of breaking it, but does not know what sort of value it has. Anyone that has done a conversion know what sort of money this is worth? The car is a 1996 M3 evo saloon 127,000 m...

Just to let you know mate this happened on my convertible, only it was stuck in the locked position, I had to replace the locking unit in the drivers footwell and both door motors as they had both cooked, inc door, boot, and petrol flap. My control unit was full of water.
Andrew

Thanks for that, I have not been using the car much but last time I got in it the battery was dead.
Gsf and Euro's list a 75ah for it, I have fitted one of these and its been fine since.
Once again thanks for all the help and advice
Andrew

It was last serviced about 2000 miles ago and I dont get any hunting. I was asking the guy in my local garage about it and he said it sounds like coil rob because most of the time if I let go of the key when its cranking it will start, thats what made me look at the battery. When its cranking it sou...

Mate your last posts say that you are selling this because you need the space yet you have asked about buying 2 other cars since posting this.
The last owner was a lady but then you say HE was going to send on the service history.
Not trying to p1ss on your chips dude but it dont add up.
