Looks very tidy to me and a good spec. MOT History is good, 7 previous owners.
The only thing that can really let it down is service history so give that a good explore.

Indeed, that looks outstanding and not bad value too. Carbon Black is in fact a very dark blue, a bit more interesting than black sapphire, but harder to source panels for.

Thanks, it says it has full service history but will check its had the proper running in check etc,
Where did you see it said it had 7 previous owners ? I have been over the advert and can't see that ? Also they have there own plates on so can't check that or mot history . Thanks
I wouldn't be too worried about 7 previous owners, cars like this seem to change hands quite often. 2 seaters often become impractical if circumstances change or after ticking that box people want to move on to the next box to tick. Mine had 7 previous keepers when I bought it in December 2019!
As Street already said it does have a good spec. You could always ask them to send you a copy of the history and the Reg No. so you can check MOT history.
If it would help I could arrange to take a look at it next week seeing as I'm retired.

I was waiting for a viewing on my coupe [cough
] and took the challenge a little too seriously. Even though the seller went to good lengths to hide the reg and VIN they didn't manage to hide everything. Fun fact there are only 8 carbon black M coupe's with Champainge interior in the UK. I'll send you the VIN and reg for this one so you can have a look at its history.

Pistonheads mentioned this one in an article of theirs that will be live on of their auctions on 12 November.

OK it's said to be a 2 owner car, but there is no mention of rod bearing shells and the seller could have made an effort with the driver's seat bolster!
Still it will be interesting to see what it makes, not least because mine has done a similar mileage. Somehow I can't see it getting to £14K though.

how does the seller know? or just guessing at the mileage for rods?
- The vendor informs us that the rod bearings are due to be replaced
The seller should have put a bit more effort into preparing it properly. That driver's seat bolster looked terrible, and other than the early history the rest seemed a bit vague! I wonder where it will appear next?
Anyway assuming you are looking good luck finding the right one.

I understood that reference.
I’m very curious how the UK market works and why there is so much price difference? Does the RHD mean that as export to most countries is not really attractive there is just less demand? Also I have the feeling that in the UK there more stigma attached to driving an older car by the majority of the population (but am happy to be proven wrong on this hypothesis!).
As a Netherlands based car enthousiast it does hurt if you see that for example you can pick up a nice Z4M for what we would pay for a bog standard 3.0!

Prices in UK for convertibles / sports cars are depressed and UK buyers are very wary of high mileages…probably due to the fact hat most Fords, Vauxhalls fell apart at 50k miles…long memories..
