It was a delight working with the owner of this E30 M3.

Owned for many years and of course purchased all those years ago for a fraction of todays value, the car was used and enjoyed for some years as we all did with our E30 M3s back then. We bought them because we loved them and their competition success, not because we believed they would one day be valuable and actually considered a wise investment. We just drove them.

Knowing the car needed some work, nothing to major he hoped and with life being rather too busy at the time, this car was taken off the road about 6 years ago.

Now finding himself in a position to revisit the M3, he decided it was time to have the car properly inspected and a detailed report carried out giving him an in-depth knowledge of his pride and joy.

Now obviously our job is to give the best advice with regard ownership going forward and most importantly ensure that the owner is doing the right thing with the right car. To do that the owner must be heard. We need to listen carefully to his requirements and expectations for the car. Make sure we produce a restored car that fit around his needs. Only then will the owner get the full enjoyment he deserves.

He explained that he wanted an M3 that had all the right integrity, structurally superb, future proofed, and mechanically rebuilt including the engine to produce him an M3 that not just made him proud but was turn-key.

Its lovely to have prepared an E30 M3 that will actually get driven!
