Aircon fairly common, especially on German cars. No idea where that ones from but no side indicators means its never had a proper uk mot.

Wood kit is hideous, wheels look like they belong in the mid 90s, tyre tread pattern looks like they're from the same era.

Looks like the skirt is missing on the only photo of the offside too.

There's a lot worse out there, but it would need to be really clean and tidy to get anywhere near their start price.
cheers,

TSW Stealths!.... Thankfully a rare sight now, but going by the advert, they're vintage is consistant with when the car was baiscally laid up back in 1997....

Will need a proper going over, seeing as its had no love in like 15 years....

Looking at the Stealths and the veneerzz, I can't imagine there was too much love before its sojourn :(

84K and no history.
215bhp car?

On a side note I know people kick the "not had a genuine MOT" if the car hasn't got repeaters. And they're right. But they look so much cleaner without them. Doesn't in itself make a car a bad example.

Cluster is changed out, hence the 3k miles since 97..
There is probably alot going on under the surface.. As well as behind the scenes
As a do-er up-er mabey, but 10 off the price minimum

215bhp were cat equipped.

And a "late G" will be 1990 not 1989. Assuming it's a European car it might be the 215 car or it might be a 195 car that was registered a few months after production. Change over was May 89. But without a VIN and history and a lot more info than he's given I wouldn't even suggest people touch it. Remember, even if YOU believe the story. Will the next buyer?

Verdict dodgy shed owned by another chancer. Next!

This one was sold a while back at £20K

Well worth it, another 5hitter on the scene. Put Evo in the ad and the price may rise instantly over night.

The colour combination looks common to the USA market M3's.

Due to the such great pricing it might only cost a £5 to put right, you have a choice on how fast you want the fix RON95 or RON98 should do the job from your local service station. Easily done a˜a
