yes that is the one - I bought it blind after talking with nthe guy. Although it was a Cat C it has been repaired properly and I only want one for track days.

There is no rust, engine is clean and this was the sellers third car.

I will be stripping it soon and adding the relevant bits.

Log book does not say much but was imported in 1999. I will try and find out.

Can't see no evo wings? And it won't be an evo sport on a D plate, they were only made very late 1989 early 1990. It's easy enough to put some red stripes in the bumper.

Great buy for a track day car mate...well done!

I would not put any credance in the red stripes etc and the front bumper etc was replaced. I bought it as a standard M3.

It's not a Sport Evo, they were only made between Jan & March 1990.
Ask me how I know :wink:

Nice car and welcome to the M3 club :D
