It was at Gaydon a while back and he wanted £10k then. I think it was put in the For Sale section here for £10k too so you got a bargain there mate :wink:

Was the engine from the Euro M3 GT or the UK M3 GT individual?

I ask cos we got the std engine, the euro's got a tuned version with the 3.2 sump and dual pick-up, new cams and software with 298bhp... Mmmm. A friend just bought an individual... Lovely car (though a lot more expensive than a std M3 3.0).

Hi,

This is the Griffin Motorsport converted car, which used a
std E36 M3 Engine and then re-mapped the ECU.
Not sure if any any parts were added later.

Griffin Motorsport used to be Hartge Dealers back in the early days
but that mantle was consumed by Kevin Bird for Birds/Hartge/ Carlson.

I can not remember who did the Manifold work for the RHD Conversion
but it was done several times.

Anything south of 7k, and its a very good deal, as others have listed,
doing one of these conversions properly for less than 7K is not
possible.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
