I'm going down to Marlin in a couple of weeks time to pick up some bits and Terry has said today that the car will be there. I'll take some pictures as its E36 based and I need some clues to help me on the way with mine. So I'll post them on Flickr when I get back.

Should be interesting!
Maybe Mark has a new folding windscreen to match and fit to the new folding roof? (Or maybe Steve Holes notes were a bit confused. I guess as a journalist he scribbles notes all day and then trys to make sense of it when back home in his office.)
The folding hood will be an interesting addition.
With mine you have to be a weather forecaster so that you can allow enough time to stop and erect the hood before it starts raining!

And if I've decoded the Registration number correctly Mark's donor car is a 1998 3.2 litre M3 - which according to Wiki is 316 BHP
