When did that sale go through Jaco? To the UK buyer.

Mike, I don't have the exact details, Scavenger please correct me if I'm wrong...:hammerhead:

As far as I have it, a deal was brokered the day after the car was advertised. Two buyers were interested in the car and after a bit of a bidding war, the car was sold for a GBP amount. Rumour has it that Crossley & Webb brokered the deal for the buyer. When the sale was concluded and whether the car was shipped out I do not know.

That's what I've heard, also 29000GBP.
All second hand information, so I'm open to correction.
A few us contacted the seller directly and he confirmed the sale was in pounds, but didn't want to divulge if the car is leaving (or has left) the country. Checking my emails, he had the deposit at the end of January, not sure when it was concluded.

Thanks guys. Seems the buyer got a good deal regardless. This one isn't even near clean or original and a much higher price tag.

Target Cars have a reputation for selling dodgy cars too...

It depends on who the dealer is. Munich Legends in UK seems to have a good reputation.

4 star classics also seem pretty reputable.

waylander42 · Apr 16, 2016

Obviously there are some in the uk, kinda meant here in SA though

i can confirm that one white Z3M and one Estoril Blue Z3M are owned by one owner in witbank. white one is a turbo S54

This really is some incredible research and deserves all the praise it's received! I do wonder though if any of the 39 have been written off? Or if some collector has taken one and squirrelled it away with even less mileage on the clock...

The white one i'm referring to was accident damaged and repaired.

Was the white one originally a S54 motor or had an engine swap?

There are only 2 alpine white S54 ACS M Coupes in the country and the other car was last spotted in Durban years back with 120k km on.

Would be surprised if it's an S50 that had an engine swap. As far as I have it it's not an easy task and would be very costly...

This is the only info available on the other car and it's very dated...

If the owner had bog standard insurance a minor ding would render the car a write off due to insurers insuring for retail value (about R130k currently)...wonder how severe the damage was.

Mike, your car is valuable as it is, but I think it just appreciated slightly seeing as you now own the one and only descent Alpine White S54...

You don't by any know the extent of the damage?

Hubblyking · Apr 22, 2016

When I saw it the front was stripped but apparently it wasn't smashed .The car is no longer alpine white as the owner wanted a more pure white from audi

Thanks MikeBMW and NEM3SIS!
I don't have any decent pics of my car... I'd better arrange a photoshoot sometime.

Mike, it's worth mentioning that your M Coupe and its twin are the only two Alpine White RHD S54 M Coupes... in the world! Your car was made exactly a week before its twin and is number 28/39 in the VIN sequence.

I spotted your car's twin on another forum when it participated in the Matuba drags at some stage in its life. There is only one coupe that I know of that has lower milage, it was Estoril Blue and about 19000km, but it got a new owner last year so that may have changed!

NEM3SIS, if you'd like to know which number your car is you can PM the last 3 digits of your VIN. :thumbs:

Hi! It seems as if you are quite on all the whereabouts of all the cars! Is it possible to try and find me one?
