My new toy...

Its an 88 M3 Evo 2 (#207/500) with 64 000 original miles (every receipt and MOT since new) , its been completely revised and serviced. The car's in pristine condition although its been used on the Ring and Spa now and then proving you can use the car hard and pamper it harder. The brakes have been upgraded with a 6-pot 320mm kit from Hi-spec but modified (hats and machined caliper) to be able to use the OEM 16' wheels. The suspension was sorted as well with Ledas/Koni, H&R springs and Eibach anti-roll bars, its got a 40% lock up and a shorter diff (3.64) and all sort of little reversible mods. All this work culminated with a detail job from www.car-detail.net which are pretty much the best in the country (Portugal) for this.

Very nice! Some say this is the best M series car for driver feedback ever made. How is pricing on these in Europe?

This one is Nogaro Silver which is darker tone than Lachs. This colour was exclusive to Evo 2's, Cecotto's and Ravaglia's (all european versions).

Well all E30 M3's were sold in LHD but then you have to deal with making it US legal which will set you back a nice chunk of money (I'm guessing at least a few grand).
