Affectionately known as the "Baby M3" this model is now extremely rare (I have been advised only 28 of this exact model in the UK remaining on the road) to find particularly in this condition. Finished in Avus Blue (code 276) and original grey leather, this non sunroof manual version will be a collectors item for the future. I purchased this car from a BMW specialist who used to showcase the car at Goodwood each year and has been garaged since. I originally purchased the car to keep long term however a house move now means I will reluctantly have to sell the car. The car has a full MOT until February 2027 and passed with No advisories. It has had 4 new uniroyal tyres fitted within the last 500 miles. I have also just fitted a new battery with a 3 year guarantee. It also has the two original keys with the torch key still working and the original BMW torch in the glovebox together with the complete toolkit in the boot. The alloy wheels are original showing the patina for authenticity. The car comes with a large history file including the original purchase invoice from Marston BMW and sold to Mr B Allingham for 22,875 back in1999. The car is fitted with the following factory options: 276 Avus Blue paintwork, P7TH Light Grey Leather, 337 M Sports Package, 354 Graduated Tinted Screen, 473 Front centre Arm-rest with the accessory of BMW Multi Cd Changer. Since then only a few modern changes have made to the car including twin chrome exhaust, short shift gear change bush fitted and a smartphone CD player. Included in the documentation is the original sales brochure, price list including the original leather book pack including the operating manuals. Supporting this are numerous old MOT certificates and invoicing from BMW dealers. The original Service Book includes the following : BMW Cooper Thames Ditton Oil Service at 9189 miles 14/07/2000.
