Reberto ravaglia M3 limited edition

[gruf]

My mate has one of these and wants know if you can tell him me more than he already knows.
His 70 and It does 300 meters 2x a year.
ill see if can get him to take it out and get some proper picture, these are from his screen saver at the garage.
Thanks

[gruf]

done hopefully

[gruf]

What would a car like this be worth?

[gruf]

i can tell you its nagaro silver and has a white dash board.

[maxfield]

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.

[pacerpete]

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 ?

[gruf]

i go and see him tomorrow, i don't know about mileage today but tomorrow ill go find out, as for condition it will be tip top his been fixing bmw's since before me (I'm no spring chicken as you can tell me mates are 70 lol) and his a calm ole fella so i doubt if its even been over the qe2 bridge and defintly don't know theres a toll on the m6...haha
but it will be immaculate.
Tar

[gruf]

i should get the ole boy up to one of these shows with me

[jslot]

Look after your old mate and let him know how much you like his car. When he guf's it, the 'turd' is yours in his will☺

[pacerpete]

Be warned that you will probably get several PMs from goat bothering scummers wanting to buy it for 'cash' innit. Obviously ignore them

[gruf]

Js I should start mowing his lawn no euphemisms. Lol
Pacer they can pm all they want it's not going anywhere.
I'm glad it's a friend that has it. Now I know I'll have to get him up the show. Do they have a disabled bay. Lol

Peter knows this to be true as he's already sent his.

[gruf]

I'll see if he has a price by what you lot are saying its out of my budget but you never know.

[maxfield]

You'd probably have to remortgage

Or rent one of the east wings. Haha.
I'm gonna give him a lift to work tomorrow and home and the next day and the next...

[gruf]

She's my wife hahaha lol
I've known about if for years but never took much interest but since I've got back into the ole classics friends have been telling me have a look what they've got plugged up.
He knows his got muts I now know how much the nuts it is.
Trust me he can have my Thai wife before I mow a lawn.
What's a decent figure to chuck at him and I'll see where he wants to go from there.

[ross_jsy]

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

[gruf]

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.

[bss325i]

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.

[gruf]

Ok nice one.
What a decent offer be if you don't mind me asking.
Thanks mate.

[Paul_D]

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.

[pacerpete]

Positively paedophilic !


Good to see not too many cars were blighted with silver grey nastiness !

[gruf]

Looks like Rav's the chap then

[magpie]

no, Rav's the Captain

[gruf]

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

[gruf]

Won't take it.
He might join up now I've showed him the site he seemed pretty interested.

[Andyboy]

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.

[gruf]

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.
