M price guide?
Discussion
i'm seriously thinking about getting a 1600M. but i havent been able to find a price guide anywhere for the m series and was wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect to pay for an average driveable car?
also how many 1600's were built? as they dont seem to come up in classifieds much. any help appreciated

Dont let the insurance put you off, I would get a few quotes first, I've got mine with MSM and for some reason they class it as a kit car.7k milage limit fully comp with protected no claims (okay i had 6 years ncb) but got it insured when i was 25 for about £550. about a 1/3 of the price i got quoted elsewhere.

Agreed. Insurance isn't a problem if you find the right broker. The most I've ever paid for my 1600M was about 400quid and now, at 31 and having had the car for 6 years, it's a smidge over 200quid. Unlimited mileage, agreed valuation, Classic policy with GroupAMA through Firebond. And they didn't seem to mind at all when I told them the spec of the new engine and that it pushed out 145bhp rather than the 86bhp of the original....

On the other hand, the AA quoted me over 2k for cover, and the cost of the policy only went up by 100quid when, for interest, I substituted a 3yr old Griff 500 worth over 20k for the M.....

Hi Kris,
I am afraid so mate - I really don't want to but find myself having to sell my home due to a soon to be ex wife taking my eyes out and then coming back for the sockets - this means I will soon have nowhere to keep or work on my beloved M - I'm gutted actualy considering all the effort I have put in getting it back to its former glory from the state it was in when I found it.
Cheers
