Nope. Classic Heroes have only very recently taken it into stock and have yet to advertise it.
But this is the car that made £100k four years ago, so I wonder if CH will be tempted to ask a similar price for it.

I was referring to the M3 that they are showing as “sold”.

Hello folks. I’ve just joined bigcoupe.com I’m the owner of #464 in the UK and bought it back in December 2018. I must’ve missed the eBay post last year but certainly a fraud. Welcome to the forum! So you bought it at the Barons auction? Were you the internet bidder and if so, had you viewed the ca...

Was that the car CH had on sale for £65k?

If the rings are made of aluminium, put a smear of grease on them to avoid galvanic corrosion, otherwise you may have difficulty removing the wheels in the future

Sorry, I was referring to a S2 car. I think you need to remove the water piping then unscrew the nut. Why didn’t the painter remove them before he did the spraying? You will have to remove them very carefully to avoid ruining the new paint

They just clip in. Lift the bonnet and ease the tags with a thin-bladed small screwdriver.

“hornetcars” on eBay.co.uk have one listed at the moment for £2,800. Not cheap, but it’s the first one I have ever seen up for sale!

BTW, I have no connection with the seller.

Hi Jose, I take your point and am grateful we don’t have such expensive labour rates over here, nor (for Classic car restorers) such strict environmental regulations

Isn’t that always the way with E24s.........

................ and it lightens the front end which impacts the 57% front weight bias. Compared to the price of getting a damaged hood repaired, that is CHEAP! Hell, just stripping, and painting a "straight" hood could be upwards of $1000. Jose Wow! You guys seem to pay loads of $$$$ for a repaint...

Here's another one, off the road for 7.5 years, non runner, asking price £4,500

I enjoyed watching the video

Sold for £46,100

Surely there must be many “old” bonnets available in the US for much less $$$ than these fibreglass examples? Why would you wish to spend much more money, at the same time as devaluing your motor

I saw a thread on another site and thought this could be interesting!

I'm now starting to rack my brains.................................

If you carry out a Google search, you'll see it is a glow plug relay!

Those plastic clips always break. In the past I’ve drilled holes through the cover and into the locating tabs in the roof. It is then easy to use black-headed self tapping screws to secure the cover. They hardly notice against the black material. Usually the job can be completed with just four screw...

The auction was cancelled yesterday (item no longer available), so I guess it sold off eBay? High bid was £5k.

It has been relisted So far bid up to £2050 after just seven hours. I’ll keep a watch and notify the result!

Crazy eh 🤪

BTW, the auction ended at £4,600 (about US$6,300)

Where I live in northern Ontario I put my sweet running, rust free example in an online ad service for $10000 which is about £5500 and got one offer of $7000. I declined. Maybe it would be worth putting it for sale in the UK but shipping would be add considerable cost although it is being done. Bea...

£20,750 with 143k on the clock

Prices sure are strange. I picked up a rust free 85 with 124K snd 20 years worth of service records recently for less than those restoros prices. I wa slucky to find one on Craigslist with a seller who wanted to sell it quickly. If pri es keep going north aat some point I'll invest in a complete re...
