Looked at the pics, and the amount of scuffs on bumpers, kick plate and indeed the rust in so many places. Where would you start :o

I accept that well maintained higher mileage cars can be a better buy than neglected low mileage vehicles. But, all cars wear with use and where there is paint/body damage, repairs soon mount up. So keeping our ‘hobby cars’ on the road for those of us with limited skills at repairs of any nature can be prohibitively expensive. We are lucky to have the help of some very able Forum Members to help. Without that help I would no longer own a Z. So I think most folks will continue to search for well looked after-cars with a low mileage. For the ‘faint-hearted’ like myself high mileages will always deter me.

Headlights are different too. One black and the other silver. Not really difficult to find halogen headlights at the moment to have a matching pair.

It is one of those games of how many differences you can spot :rofl:

I went to Mercedes Benz World with a mate to view the cars on offer the day before the Historics sale and did have a quick look around that Z4.

It was sold with no reserve, and I honestly didn't see it making £3K. Two people must have got carried away!

Spotted today… JMC are good people; it’s where our E89 23i came from 3 years ago. This Alpina looks great, thought I’d share it in case there’s interest out there

JMC have had that up for sale for some time. I pass on a regular basis visiting in-laws in Stratford.

They always have good cars and this is no exception.
