One owner, BMW service history, the right time of the year. Got a lot going for it, even if it is a roadster..........

Yes, love that colour (and the red as well). A friend owns one in the blue (sadly the inferior open top version rather than the coupe like I have) and it looks great.

I used the red (Imola) on another car I have after looking at just about every red I could think of for about a year while I was busy restoring it. If I hadn't gone with that colour I would have used the blue!

Looks like a good 'un. Maybe Insp 1 and new tyre costs to be wary of.

Bet you don't drive that one too fast. Looks like it would take off.

It is patterned loosely after the Miura bodywork, but you are right - I do have concerns that the node might start to lift at speed so I have never taken it much beyond about 100 mph. The engine in it is around 200 bhp and with the light weight it would pull quite well up top if I wasn't chicken...er, I mean using mature judgement. When I was building it, that concern led me to add a nose spoiler (crafted from a stock TR6 item) under the nose, but when we did a trial fitting, we both said "Datsun 240Z" and I left it off. Wanted it to look like a real car, not a kit car, which is why I also used wire wheels rather than alloys.

I raced an MGA Twin Cam with around 175 bhp and it had no problem (aerodynamically) hitting 130 on the tracks I ran it on - probably 10 - 15 mph more on an open road. Dead solid at speed. Didn't want to find out if a body designed more for looks that aerodynamics would do the same.

10k more miles than mine, 5 less owners. Be interesting to see what it goes for. Mine would be up for sale if it wasn't for avoiding the covid

SOLD at £13666 + the buyer pays 6% on top (£820ish ) so around £14500 , id say right on the button for today's market & a good day for buyer + seller .

Spot on mr wilks.

That's a lovely colour combination and there can't be too many 1 owner Ms around these days. Let's hope the buyer joins the forum!

Just remember the buyer has approx £1k auction fees to pay on top of the final bid so not as simple as it appears and possibly hasn’t even seen the car yet.
