Just been given these pics by my mate who owns a mint E30 M3 Cecotto.

Not sure exactly what happened but he was minding his own when a car lost control and hit his car and I think he said someone elses car too.





I am gutted for him as you can imagine the car meant everything to him, extremely rare too, its apparently fixable though but waiting to hear more.

He is ok though, well as ok as you can be when someone stack sit straight into you.

 

Ouch mate, glad he is ok.

Do you have any pics of the car before the accident?

I know these old m3's are quite rare but whats the differances between them and his?

Hope he gets it fixed

 

I used to dream of owning a M3 Cecotto before i found out the cossie could be made much faster, but i still have a soft spot for one I would be raging if that happened to my car and if drink was involved then it just makes me mad to think about it

 

 

Glad your mate is OK. Poor car though.

 

Would of looked stunning next to my 3 door

 

what a shame I bet he truly is gutted I would be

 

He is ****ing ***sed as you can imagine.

Quite sure it is repairable though, its not like a e30 shell is anything like the m3 shells so it has to be repaired tbh.

Its worth a lot more then a e36 m3 !

Last time I spoke to him he was off down the pub (on foot) which is maybe what some should consider before getting in their car.

Worst thing is that he has a very tasty engine ready to be put together and fitted and a trip to the ring in 2 months, none of which I would guess will now happen but I hope they still do

 

Sorry to see such a gorgous car in such a poor state

 

That's sick That's a lovely car so I hope the insurance company know what it's worth and repair it for him.

 

That looks truely stunning , such a shame, hope it gets fixed

Bri.

 

least he ok, looks pretty bent to me

wonder if it had orginal paint before the smack

 

hi mate,seen it on www.e30zone.co.uk. nightmare.whats it worth pre-crash? 12-15G? that looks like it could be borderline for insurance repair.hope he gave the drunk driver a few good kicks before the police got there

 

Sure the cecoto was a limited edition kida like a monte escos.

 

Oh shit... Thats Reedys car????

That car was stunning, I remember when he got it!

 

very limited. probably about the same value as a monte escos iirc.gutting if its your own fault but 10 times worse if its someone elses fault

 

Yes its Reedys car and it is a genuine Cecotto.

Its not the original paint as he just recently had the front bumper and bonnet done due to stonechips.

No doubt the insurer will appreciate its value, most important thing is that they actually pay out !

Either way I'm 99% sure he will have it repaired, he does work for BMW after all so sourcing genuine parts is not a problem, its just the cost of them that hurts

 

hope it gets fixed!

And as for the drink driver, I hope he gets disqualified straight away and put in prison

 

absolute nitemare i would sue for everything the cunt has

 

Reedys!!!!

Thats a total loss. No ifs, no buts.

No insurance company will pay out for repairs on that. The main legs have taken impact as well.

In fairness probably better to get the pay out then buy it back and track it. (Or break it)

 

That is what I thought but whoever is fixing it says it will go again.

He already has the hire car so I hope its going to be sorted soon as we have the ring to get to in 2 months

 

Good luck to your mate, what a waste

 

One of the main problems he may come into is that most insurance policies are rendered invalid if the driver is drunk, so he may well end up taking the hit on his own insurance to add insult to injury! Cash in lieu may well be a n avenue to pursue, and get the work done himself.

 

Real shame tho, that car looked beautiful beforehand.

 

I think its been confirmed that they are willing to pay luckily.

 

more pics:

 

the paint on that M3 looks mint before the crash

Such lovely cars Glad the insurance company is paying!


But, whats a E30 M3 Cecotto, Gonna have to google it as its 0355


Any news on the DD

 

stunning car..

was thinking e30 m3 before the cossie

theyre such good looking cars

hope he gets in back to pre crash condition

 

They STILL have to pay under one of the rules, then they claim it back from the drunken party.

I will try to find the rule for him in case they argue

 

Proper gutting.
Any updates on being fixed or payments ??

 

what a pissed spunk gargling prick

 

that car is mint,shame its ended up like that.

 

fucking drink driving scum should be slowly killed by dogs just lucky someone wasnt killed on the footpath

 

Jizzmop scum bag should be banned for life

 

They will pay out to the third party, but even if he was fully comp, they won't pay for the DD's car. They also have the option of pursuing the cost of repairs from the DD, which if he somehow manages to keep his job, is quite likely!

 

No news at all yet.

Whatever happens I think it will go on a jig and have some new inner wings fitted.

He won't mess about with doing it properly thats for sure and with any luck he will just put the new engine in rather than re fit the old one

 

Update,

The drink driver got a 18 month ban and a few hundred quid fine and Ł70 court costs.

Not exactly the worst punishment but hopefully enough to make him sort it out.

No news on the car yet though

 

Probably won't stop them driving if it's anything to go by in my experience of 'stories of the banned'.

Hope the car has better news soon.

 

beautiful car, glad hes ok

 

Such a shame!

Hope he gets it sorted, love that shape m3.

Good to hear he's ok too
