I phoned them 4 days ago and they still had to agree a price with the seller (after having various bits done to it i think) and the lovely sales lady was supposed to get back to me with a figure. But she never did.... so I phoned them today only for her to break my heart and tell me it was sold.
Very nice.....Must be getting rare with miles under 50k.....How much did the want for her.....
I got an email from ML about this car just before they got it having registered my interest in Black cars a while back, seeing that they basically just advertised them as sold.
They expected to achieve £34-35K for this car. which apparently had special provenance, which I took to be a Service History...?
Provenance will be related to previous ownership, which might suggest a delimited which as your probably aware, were only sold to persons holding a race license. eg Soper, Hill, etc.
There was another SB recently for sale with 38K, listed on Saturday and sold and add removed by Monday. SB's seem to the flavor of choice at the moment! :whistle:
I'm not sure about the race licence bit Neil, my was supplied to the main dealer de limited.
I seem to remember when they first came out this was the case....Or was mooted around in the press blurb that ou did need a licence for it to be derestricted......Probably changed when BMW struggled to sell them all....

Person who ordered my car new as de-restricted had a race licence, not that this proves anything.

If it isn't on the list then? There is no way of knowing other than to interrogate the ECU, if the car has not had a remap (which incidentally will invalidate the warranty, Mondial also have a list of the Factory delimiteds).
What a dealer might say to move a car on, is something ongoing. I know that one or two members have been surprised when they've checked the list!
Even though it was a no cost option, I have it on good authority that BMW stuck rigidly to their original policy, a marketing ploy perhaps, but no License no delimited!
That's why there are so few; only 49 of the reputed 422 UK cars, 14 SBs and 35 SGs were Factory produced.
