A few pics form the weekends Pistonheads Sunday Service @ the Vauxhall Heritage Centre.
Photos by Mikeblue1 & Bryan Janes And have to add this E30, one of the cleanest examples I have come across, the owner chopped in his Z4M and got to work with nigh on a full restoration from complete engine rebuild to the interior. And this is no garage queen with over 100k miles on the clock. |

+1. Just when I started thinking that he must be out of new ideas!

Was visiting London a few weeks ago staying at St. George's Wharf. Whilst walking along Wandsworth Road near Vauxhall bridge I saw a beautiful white 1M drive by and thought to myself "I wonder if that is Aussie in London". About 2 minutes later a beautiful VO 1M raced by. I may have been correct from the look of your pictures from the Vauxhall Heritage Centre.

Very good chance it was if it was a weekend as I am just a bit further back down along the river down near Tower Bridge, and do cross the river often via Vauxhall Bridge and head out through Chelsea. |

What a cutie!
Don't we just love the 1M's versatility, we might as well call it the "1V". (retrofit option 470, passenger airbag deactivation for longer trips without neck strains) |

Car looks absolutely brilliant mate. Tasteful mods, nothing over the top...really dig it!
In fact, I think I may have seen it in person before! Did we meet at Spa about 12 months ago? Three aussie guys who hired the Exiges and 2-11, we had a chat and you mentioned that you had a OPC race car so I put two and two together, hopefully it makes four Cheers, Dane |
