I think you knew that when we met up. Started getting a funny feeling in the stomach. Took it to Manchester on Saturday, giggling like a little school girl. Boy can she shift with her new tyres on the back. How's your search going?
Search could be better, if I wanted a black M there's plenty decent ones to choose from but I'm trying to hold out for silver but might go Alpina if the right one pops up!
No rush though I've already got a great wee low mileage Zed! :oops:
Patience is the key Rich. I quite fancy black one but I couldn't be bothered travelling to find a decent example.

H.
Yes, black would be better for you! Would you like me to find you a nice one? :poke:

The silver car was mentioned on the M market watch thread.

Word of warning for anyone looking at the M Roadster in Lichfield with 36k miles.
The car is absolutely stunning throughout but never had running in check/service done! First service on the car was at 14k miles.
I spent 3 days tracing back the history of the car and it had a strange first year.
Might still be a decent price at £17k for anyone that wants to get the car properly checked out!

FWIW Ruby Black when clean and in the right light looks stunning - not really black at all! But sadly we don't get the right light too often in the UK. :(

My first E86 was that colour and the forum member who bought it from me (and was more into detailing than me) won the "photo of the month competition" so it featured in the 2017 forum calendar in July.
Coupes because stunning!

I viewed this same car a couple of months ago, could have saved you a few phone calls!
It is in cracking condition but lack of running in service put me off!
The story I got from Williams was a bit different, they told me they sold the car at 432 miles but Stratstone Harrogate sold it new to someone in Nottingham.
If I remember right they've had it over a year!

Good afternoon,

The database due to age is not clear what was carried out. A running
in check should be done at 1200miles. Our database shows a visit at
437 and then at 14370. I cannot be sure of what was carried out.

Regards

Customer Service Support

Was told on phone car was sold at 437 miles!,

This was up for sale when I was looking for one last spring.....

The running in service seems to be a key when I speak to anyone who has an interest in these cars.

I guess it depends on your view on life! If you plan to keep it and can take a view on the risk of it potentially having no running in service then it could be interesting. Might be a bargaining chip to knock a few quid off if you are super keen.

If you are concerned about resale then I'm sure others on here will agree it will be tricky to sell on.

I thought I saw another silver recently on AT for around 15k though higher mileage. That looked pretty decent in the photos.
