make sure you keep a few bags of sand in the boot though. You have been warned

Well, relative stink - about 9.3 to sixty with that blue oval 6 in the nose 
Make a good noise though, nice cars with funky interiors but I've never got over the styling
Look to be an SE5 or 6 Not much up on the exact models of GTEs!
MOT'd and tax'd ones go for about a grand, of course, mint examples fetch more like 3-4k.
You can get good rolling projects for 100-200. A lot of that moss is probably just sitting on it, the body is fibreglass although the paint can go. Lots of metal to disappear underneath though. Might be worth poking around but bear in mind the potential costs of getting on the road, such as budgeting 400 for a brake rebuild and so on.
Bet it was the fibre timing gear going that took it off the road

No but the Z4 coupe bears an uncanny similarity to the GT6....
The resemblance is there, as is the familiar powertrain - straight six, rear wheel drive, etc. Think I'd have a top spec Z4 coupe in blue if someone offered one to me in a shot! Could use it as a small parts chaser!
Guess who owns the Triumph brand now, too. About their only competitor at the time (maybe Rover were there, too) and leagues ahead in terms of technology and refinement.

The Z4 Koop is the only Bimmer of recent years that I've craved. It just looks SO right to me.
Bluff nose, compact haunches, the line that drops from the doors, along the sill, through the wheelarches and up over the front end.
One would look a right double-hard <child born out of wedlock> in black...on black rims...and blackline-esque de-chroming...

That is a good idea 
Theres a definate resemblance in the M Coupe and the Reliant Scimitar, and i love the shape of both . Love the look of cars where everythings at the back, and you've just got a big long bonnet ahead of you. Reminds me of the Vertigo you won in GT3 to get loads of money.
Super cool.

I'm rubbish with old cars, what is this? Been sitting there for years up the road from me and i've always wondered what it is. might make a cool project
Sounds lovely, looks the dogs, and my dad has one in poo brown
Really really gorgeous gargle from the 3l V6, and the wolfrace wheels are soo cool. But he's given up on it because of his sexy new white stag V8 goodness
Il try to get some pics up of his respray attempt.
