Hartge M3 breaking

[Blitz]

I saw white Hartge M3 with Recaro interior with its roof chopped off for breaking in NSEC Hockley NOT West Hanningfield. Cant believe it, its so rare. Took some pictures on somebody else's phone but forgot to get them off.

Dark Hartge wheels, exhaust, didn't get to look at the engine.

Roof chopped off?

Fire brigade?

This could just be the most heartbreaking thread title ever on the Zone

Roof chopped off?

Bonnet was fine at the front, all panels look okay.

I will get the pics tomorrow through email, I only took the rear because didn't know if I was allowed to be in the room.

Sorry! its the first site in Hockley http://www.nsec.co.uk/yard1.htm

When you go though the reception on the right theres car headlights on shelf's and a window behind of the room where lots of bikes are kept and the M3. The the Recaro seats are damaged though.

Yeah the whole roof has been removed but the sport evo rear spoiler is still there, they only break cars there. I didn't check if it had a Hartge engine.

I think it's safe to assume that someone seriously ran out of talent...





That'd be one of the 6 Hartge H36's gone forever.....

[ImysE30]

Was such a beautiful looking car

[Nay]

[Morat]

I bet Spadge and co are itching to break that!

The strut brace did a good job by the looks of things.

[oakey]

Driver must have been a bit ummmmm........ bruised

[tomson]

Such a shame.....

[Ian_M]

That's a fixer-upper.

[ImysE30]

That's a fixer-upper.

Sadly i doubt it, probably be stripped and scrapped

The engine must be worth a fair bit, got to be worth putting it into a another shell.

[Fushion_Julz]

Engine is an M30, if I'm not mistaken, albeit with Hartge bits

Car is a cat B according to the ad, so definitely can't be repaired at all...

Only bits worth saving are the wheels, running gear and perhaps the exhaust... Most of the other bits are trashed!

[Jhonno]

I believe the lump is a 24v one!

[ImysE30]

Is it for sale? can't access the link at work?

[Fushion_Julz]

I believe the lump is a 24v one!

I stand corrected, then...

[SilverShadow]

Is the back box compatible on a m20 engine???

[Jhonno]

Will be too large..

[Rich_W]

Why is there a R reg bumper wedged on the top right of it?

[tomson]

I believe the lump is a 24v one!

Yeah, looks like a S38 to me

[bss325i]

It is/was one of only 6 Hartge H35 24V's ever made and did use the M88 from the E28 M5/M635CSi.

It was for sale recently on pistonheads for approx £20000!

Such a shame!

Potential reshell though or put it all into a 2dr chrome bumper shell!

[Simon]

This car is well known, and it won't be the first time it's been crashed!

As has been said, was definitely one of 6 ever made, and was for sale with MCP motorsport for 24k about 2 years ago.

It's name was Hetty !
