Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 2001 BMW Z3 Roadster has been well-maintained, with a major overhaul in 2024/5. It has been owned by the same family since 2010, has a long MOT until March 2027, and is currently at 87,000 miles.

Condition
7
The car has been owned by the same family since 2010 and has had a major overhaul including full suspension replacement. It has fresh filters and spark plugs, and a recent MOT. However, the listing mentions that there is wear visible in the paint, interior, or wheels, but only slight. One or two small dents or curb marks may be present but are not prominent, so it requires minor reconditioning.
