Do you love Top Gear? If you read Adam's Auto Advice we are sure you do. Well you have a chance to own a piece of Top Gear history and a nice car too. The BMW M3 (E36) driven by Richard Hammond on the wildly popular car show is going to be coming up for sale.
The Bimmer was used on the Top Gear segment “Cheap Car Super Saloon Challenge” where the three hosts battled for 4-door supremacy in a Ford Sierra Cosworth, a Mercedes 190E Cosworth and obviously Hammond's BMW M3 sedan. This Top Gear challenge featured the Stig racing each car around a track, a fuel economy showdown, fitting an entire brass band inside each car. The best was probably the road safety test which concluded that Hammond’s BMW M3 was the most unroadworthy of the three cars and a bit of a deathtrap. The inspectors said the BMW M3 had in an accident at some point prior to the car being on Top Gear and the repairs may have not been done professionally. Still, we doubt this will affect the value.
The BMW M3 driven by Richard Hammond on Top Gear will come up for sale next month and will be auctioned by Classic Car Auctions at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre, UK on June 6th. The car is expected to be sold for £7500 to £10,500 British pounds, which is $11,500-$15,300 US dollars.
Hey Adam..I’m needing to sell my 1997 Honda Accord ‘Special Edition’- 216,000 miles, Drk Plum color w/ gold detailing, grey cloth interior, fully loaded, like-new studded snow tires included (paid $360.00 -only used I season approx. 2 months)…I’m replacing battery after watching yr video (it won’t stay charged after charging overnight) but the transmission’s leaking oil; will need replacing sometime soon ($3000.00 replacement estimate, didn’t make sense for me to replace it- bought a new vehicle instead). Interior is in prestine condition, exterior has a few minor defects, minor fading paint on top rooftop, small paint wear anterior corner metal just behind R front tire.
$1600.00 (including studded snow tires) is my selling price- is this accurate?
Hope to hear from u soon as I need to sell asap.
Thank u-
LJH
