A sad sight......

[magpie]

could the silver e30 be a 320IS an m40 would look out of in place there i think.

[Cloud]

Aparently it was stolen/recovered, would explain all the missing parts. Said to be rust free (find that slightly hard to believe) but unfortunately the owner has no intention of selling it

Make him an offer can't refuse.

[B7]

I was thinking Theo as well!

[78dude]

It is indeed sad to see an M3 like that, but what makes me cry is to see a picture like that....

Classic Ferrari Daytona without any TLC at all

[Bob_S]

magpie no the silver one is unlikely to be a 320is some m20 deriative I think more than likely a '90 320ise

As for the red M3 I would of said it could well be an SE.. the front wings dont look right but i can see red rear belts and a cutout in the rear spoiler for the gurney (sp) flap

The black one however.. now that seems to be a different story.. shame to see it sat there rotting

[Sanchez]

why would someone want to leave these 2 M3's in his back garden to rot.

Is he doing it just to pee us off.

[jbh]

what a waste... specially when myself and Theo are looking for m3 shells

Let it rot, it's not that big a deal!

The Daytona however is a real pity. That would take an awful lot of rescuing.

[hubble]

It's tidy enough. That'd make a luvvly re-shell shell for someone who chucks their M3 into a wall.

It looks tidy as the oxidisation hasn't been disturbed. Underneath it'll be a festering mass of ripe shite.

I'll bring that paint-work back form the dead

Well if the prat has kept it there pointlessly for the past 12 years, hes not going to restore it now, why doesnt he give someone else a chance!

[fuzzy]

maybe he hates them and wants to see it die a long slow lingering death by rust.

[Bob_S]

I am inclined to agree with andyboy.
There are plenty of e30 M3's out there however a Ferrari Daytona is something special. Did anyone see the episode of TG with May on his boat and Hammond in the Daytona in the South of France? Couldn't manage that with a loutish M3.
Although sadly that Daytona looks fairly bent

[stu_316i]

such a waste

[Speedtouch]

Chap around the corner from me has a Mk1 Mini 1275 Cooper S sat dilapidated in his open garage - despite several offers from locals (including myself) to buy it, he refuses to sell, so it continues to rot and has become the victim of vandals over the years

would take a few days worth of work but would come up well by the looks of it.

already have a plan in my head of how i'd tackle it.

[andyp]

a bit like this one .

[cliffybabe]

[barryj]

Very sad, I assume there is damage on the other side?

[magpie]

all these graveyard m3's is a waste..i like to see them found, bought and restored!

[fuzzy]

id like to see a couple chopped up so i can make a full set of wide arches for my touring.

[maxfield]

Fuzzy, have you spoke to Theo about his 'back end'

[neamem]

if you want wide arches contact a company called ABW in essex. he makes wide arch impreza rally replicas. i'm sure if you want to send him a couple of spare pannels he's be able to make you some. he's just been working on a full wide arch carbon fibre classic impreza.

[fuzzy]

id still like to use the 4 doors and to use metal arches so i think its a make it up as i go along job in a year or 2's time.

[neamem]

that's not a problem to keep the use of 4 doors. he makes the kits for the 4 door imprezas so they look like 22b classic.

[78dude]

thats a good avata on the first 1 v,nice

The Shell means Fuck all on a e30 m3. It's the engine is what made that car special and it looks like that old rotten shell was been devoid of it's S14 for quite some time.

It's a carcase of a not too particularly exotic car. Let it rust in pieces.

even a shell on its own is still worth a grand or two.
