I thought M030 was optional on later cars. I read somewhere that they had all of the later drivetrain stuff but with regular shocks. And I agree, they'll be toast at this age and I'd want to replace with V3's ideally anyway.
Thanks for the heads up on that red one. I have been looking at it, but dismissed it since the owner hasn't serviced it once in 6 years. That's got ticking time bomb all over it.
It seems a lot of these cars are just garaged for sunny days and people think it was serviced 1,000 miles ago so it'll be ok, even though that was 3 years ago. It seems a regular thing that people buy the car, spend money on it straight away, run for years until it needs more money thrown at it then sell it on.
Appears the same for that gold one on Pistonheads. Belt done 3,500 miles ago - 8 years! Plus marks on both bumpers, wheels looks trashed and the rear spoiler looks like it's lifted I think. Far from the immaculate described.
I'm after something cherished and don't mind paying the premium for it. Wouldn't have thought it'd be this hard to find!
