Thats most peculiar, it received no bids on the Sunday and passed in at $19k, the opening bid from the auctioneer. The BMW 2002 sold for a strongish $41.5 the 1071 Mini Cooper at $20k, The E Type pulled $160, Alpina roadster $21k and the Rover $50 plus the Ferrari 456 made $90k all before the buyers premium of 15%, so 6 cars on the day. Surprisingly all the motorbike were marked as sold, some for strong money too https://auctions.webbs.co.nz/auctions/catalog/id/804

NC500 is a fast road around the north of scotland. Well publicised in various magazines, Evo Octane and suchlike. Much loved by various owners clubs too, I'd suggest the seller is suggesting some link to the area, given the McAlpine heritage. What happened to the original shell, hmm no guessing here two choices here, rusted out beyond repair or simply fell to bits 😀 Update: I'm wrong above, Oliver Nowack is a German M5 specialist tuner see link below, ref the Nowack N500 (503bhp) https://www.m5board.com/threads/nowack-tuning-report-the-truth-long-version.13288/

Sellers user name says it all really 😮

Number seven....Porsche content I know........

8 A1 block mounts 58.5cm wide, 83cm height on 15mm board. Professionally done. Prefer pickup from Parklands 8083. $95 each. These are heavy (5.7kg), so courier will not be cheap, however can wrap, pack at send at buyers cost and risk. Sadly some are Porsche flavoured............. Call 029 777 4006

No big deal here. Any vehicle fitted with GPS would show speeding in excess of posted limits daily. The media have feasted (falsely) on this for weeks. And Peter Scott fell on his sword anyway, sooo folks this show is over

Writing as an aged M addict would have to disagree with your statement here Peter. The E30 is a purpose build naturally aspirated M car, whereas the 1M is a "parts bin" special 😉

Here it goes Rohan, including premium. So selling at a considerable loss, (after less than 12 months), the import / compliancing and restoration cost here in NZ was truly eye watering 😪 Over priced today in 2024. https://www.iconicauctioneers.com/1988-bmw-m3-e30-evo-ii-rec11496-1-silverston-0822

Good luck with a sale at that price. The global market is saturated with special interest cars for sale, a quick look at Bring a Trailer, and Collecting Cars auction sees a mounting list of brands going RNM. The cars for sale to willing buyers ratio is well adrift, and a good time to buy if something takes your fancy. And most seem to have been acquired when the market was strong, on the back of the Covid surge. "Buy a classic car it's an investment........." the listings read, Yes, right 😮 This writer believes the market is far from reaching the bottom of the bell curve, so hold on for a stormy ride.

These firms do mainly car yard work, so to a price, not a standard. We used them once (Touch Up Guys) and it really was a wallet lightening exercise. Never again, not even to touch up a mark on a wheel. Do it once, do it right 😀

BUMP.... need the space, someone? Price reduced, there are Brand new, never fitted wheel sets. Contact details in the post

From my (limited) experience with corporate structures Bimmersport is probably more aligned with the ethos of BM Workshop and Parts. Now with a well run workshop and parts supply in Christchurch as well as the Auckland locations, an approach to the owner based in Auckland may be worth exploring.
