There were only 25 of these made, it looks in very good condition. As for value, I can't remember when I last seen a Ravaglia. I'm not sure if they command that much more of a premium than EVO2/Cecotto. But a lot will depend on condition, mileage etc.

Thats a rare turd. I am guessing it is a UK supplied car as, IIRC , everywhere else they were called a Cecotto . The reasoning being that Roberto Ravaglia was better known than Johnny Cecotto in the UK.
505 total built , 25 being UK Ravaglias. Nogaro silver being the rarest colour. The other available colours being misano red and macau blue. Most had black half leather, the grey half leather was less common and extended black or grey leather was very rarely seen but available.
Lots of unique bits on these cars as also seen on the '88 Evolution 2 and they are now very sought after if correct with nice mileage / history.

Any more info / history on the car ?

He knows his got muts I now know how much the nuts it is.

Difficult to say without knowing condition, mileage and history, but given a normal m3 is around £25k for a good one (and plenty of shitters priced similarly), I would expect it to be a £35k+ car, probably more due to the rarity

I found a link to Bmw register I think it says that his one is the rarest of the rare. 25 made and next lowest number is 180 or something like that and then batches of 500.
I reckon his has got to be the dearest or is this antiques roadshow moment that ends in a family fourtunes ert errr.
I think his dashboard is personally signed by Reberto Ravaglia.
Anyway I'll see what he says.

All ravaglias had be signed plaque.

If it's a sub 50k mile car with good history and matching conditon then that would be a £60-70k car if we retailed that at ML.

I don't know why People always quote 25 Ravaglias as there were 27, it's like a lot of people use to say Ravaglia's only came in Misano and Cecotto's in Macau and Nogaro.

According to BMW there were

27 Ravaglia's,
1 in Macau Blue with motorsport design anthracite interior.
17 in Misano Red with motorsport design anthracite interior.
9 in Nogaro silver with motosport design silver interior.

478 Cecotto's ,
297 in Macau, 142 with motorsport design anthracite, 41 with motosport design silver, 66 with black leather, 16 with extended black leather, 34 with extended silver leather.
111 in Misano, 44 with motorsport design anthracite, 10 with motosport design silver, 25 with black leather, 30 with extended black leather, 2 with extended silver leather.
70 in Nogaro, 23 with motorsport design anthracite, 8 with motosport design silver, 17 with black leather, 22 with extended black leather.

It's not being sold for a couple of years and I can have first refusal.
But I've put the seed to come to a show so maybe with a little coaxing we could get it off the drive and back in the public.
Thanks for interest and a few extra facts his chuffed and loves the name rare turd. Lol

It's a UK supplied car from new, from a London dealer though not 100% on which one.

If it's nice (unrusty, never painted/welded/crashed) with low mileage and verifiable history, it's probably a 50 or 60 grand car. Maybe more - most M3's are welded up, round the clock 10 owner rubbish.

Thanks.
I Can't tell you to much but it's totally original definitely not a rust bucket and well maintained. I think he said 80,90,000 miles.
