If only I had the money, we should do a group buy and make it the e30zone racing car, come on lets all chip in some money and cover the vehicle with E30zone stickers :D who is up for it. with the amount of members on this forum it works out to Ԛ£2.78 each but lets make it Ԛ£3.00 so we can get the insurance to, maybe we can buy it in time for Santa Pod and all line up to have a turn :D

Only problem i have with this car is its lack of race history. This is the same reason my dad has sold his group A to buy a different one.

As far as scaring small children, any group A M3 bouncing off the 10k rev limiter belching flames on the downshifts is enough to do that!!

It's nice, but for 38k, you can build car that will pee all over that. Better still, i'd buy Clive at Prism Msports car. 750bhp twin turbo M3 monster. Now that would scare little children and grown up's at the same time winkeye

Hmm...I disagree, Bootyman...
Ԛ£38K is CHEAP for a proper grpA shell with all the right bits...

Sure, it wouldn't be hard to find a faster car for Ԛ£38K, but would it be a legal grp A/Supertourer racer with some decent pedigree and an appreciating value?

Plus it comes with a shed (literally) of spares!

Racing cars are usually only attractive to either a collector or to someone who is looking for a car to compete in a particular series...
I suspect the reason that this is still on sale for so long is that it no longer has any classes of racing in which it can be competitive and it hasn't yet acheived the pure/thoroughbred status that (say) a lightweight e-type has....

A writen off GrpA shell Tho I'm sure there are better groupA. Personally i thinks it's quite ugly with the arrches and spoiler but just My opinion. WErn't the 2.5s about the same HP as that

Although you have to say, for the price, you'd expect the rear-vew mirror to be stuck back on....

grpA cars didn't have standard rear view mirrors, but a box accross the top of the screen (behind the sunstrip) with many mirrors to give as wide a view as possible.

Not strictly true mate, some did and some didnt

Our 1st one came with one of those but we changed it. Our new one (works car) came with a standard mirror
