Buy it and I'll sell you a shell lol

Only had 56k on it as well.

Oddly I left a note with a £10k offer on behalf of a zoner a few weeks bad

Stolen?

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 1:29 am

Doubt it, we don't really get that many stolen cars over here

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 1:58 am

i remember about 10 years ago that used to be parked up by st saviours school all the time,the only rhd conversion i ever fancied.

Is that the one that woman owned?

Hard to hide on an island the size of a medium sized Guinness shite.

Is that not the one with a rotten scuttle you posted pictures of before? I remember the grill

Worse have been repaired, and that was well before they are worth what they are these days.

It'll live again assuming the insurance company don't take it and crush it.

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 9:56 am

That looked quite good before the accident. I'm sure it's worth repairing.

Was it James ?

This was the one with the scuttle delete I posted.

No idea how that happened. That street is just up the road from mine and a 1 one in a built up area in a 30 limit, but it's between 2 traffic lights so I generally just cruise up it. It's also facing the wrong way down the street.

Someone was doing something stupid to do that much damage/rip 3 tyres off it

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 10:53 am

sounds like an insurance job to me!

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 11:14 am

Is that the one that was parked in the garage behind the Apollo Hotel in St Helier?

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 2:05 pm

It might sound daft, but isn't this repairable? All new wings and quarterpanels obviously ($$$), but how bent do you think the chassis rails/ rear beam mounts are after that sort of carnage?

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 2:15 pm

Curious to know how that happened and how 3 of the tyres came off

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 2:24 pm

The nearside front wheel looks buckled too.

Must be the curse of the Kamei kidney grille cover!

By the bottom of the school? Yep.

Grrr, it will be repairable, but I would imagine insurance will right it off. Keep your eyes peeled in your local scrap yards

It will undoubtedly reappear on Pistonheads in a few months as a 'minted ' one lady owner 56,000 KILOMETRE cream puff for £34,995.

Being sterling silver and RHD, it will be easy to spot when it does make a reappearance.

I wonder has the owner had a knock on the door from Mr Ross?

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 3:28 pm

No interest mate. What would I do with a rotten/smashed m3? If I had the space I would break it but I don't right now

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 3:29 pm

You could break it in your driveway. The neighbours would love you.

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 5:06 pm

is this for sale????

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 5:14 pm

Looks like the wall has done most of that damage. Set of wings and a door and it'll be as new. Jerseys a silly place to have an M3 anyway, I'd buy the scrap and make sure it gets a proper home here!

Post Mon Jun 30, 2014 5:43 pm

Jersey is fine for m3's, we have some great driving roads!

Post Thu Jul 03, 2014 11:33 am

Apparently the driver was drunk, what a terrible waste

Post Thu Jul 03, 2014 11:41 am

Pillock.

Post Thu Jul 03, 2014 11:59 am

No insurance payout also face prosecution

Post Thu Jul 03, 2014 12:06 pm

Driving under the influence is a serious crime, the loss of an M3 is sad enough, he could have done far worse. Deserves no payout, hefty fine and a long ban.

Ross, all we have to do is find out where the remains are and recover them!

Finders fee applies

I've been watching this car for at least 12 years, the woman who owned it should have sold it to one of the dozens of people who have made her quite sensible offers for it over the years, instead, she thought it was worth something ridiculous so let it fester and waste away only to end up being written off, I did hear that her partner was driving it whilst pissed but that's only what I've been told.

A sad end for a rare and desirable E30
