Very shiny, does it have an interior or is it a track car?

Thanks. And thanks to Wayne (orr) who answered my ad on here! Amazing M3 by the way mate! :D

Its come with no interior or seats so Im going to use it as a trackday car initially, but building it to PBMW Championship spec.
So making sure that I weld the cage reinforcements in when I bolt the cage up, making sure I use the right Corbeau 'big-eared' seat, fitting an Autolec, etc.

Now I just need to hire a trailer to get it home! :eek:

Im based on the Wirral / Cheshire.....

I'm near Alder Hey.

I'll see what I can do, does it run well enough to get it onto a truck? (No winch), or is it a case of pushing it on?

Pete.
That would be much appreciated! Car IS as good as Wayne Orr says so I dont want to chance driving it with no MOT, test and Ins and getting it 'confiscated'..... :(

Wayne,
I know your sorry to see it go, but, your very welcome to come and do a few laps in it on a trackday..... You know I'll loook after it! I can be very anal about car ownership! winkeye

If you decide to use it in pbmw you will love it. I'm in the process of building one for next season. I went to lyden last week end as a spectator and it was wicked. :D
