i'm no expert but there is no black stripe in the bumpers to start, but a sad end, steelies and no engine by the looks of it.

Still has a fair value like it is though!

To my unpractised and somewhat myopic eye, the bodywork looks fairly mint (apart from the mould etc)

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.

you would think the arches would show signs of rust after 12 years being stood unless it's a fibreglass kit ?

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.
