Those are gorgeous pieces of machinery.

Retro! I like the horn!

These are such cool cars, not so crazy about the styling though.

[JZS_RCTS]

yup first time i've seen one IRL, but according to reg we do service a couple of them here.

supposedly it's 1 of 6 in north america?

[Jlude]

Wow... I've never even seen a picture of one before.


ps... I hate you, you're sig make me want a Supra soooo bad.

[TomcoPDR]

Is the steering wheel a happy face from factory??? (or did it just have that curve and someone put 2 dots above it?)

Awesome pics :burnout:

it's actually a BMW logo, i dunno why it turned out like that, i'll take another pic of it on monday.

[toastgremlin]

I think the double roundels on the M1 are really ugly, but the rest of the car is really unique, like a wide 80s Espirit.

I'd love to see one in person some day.

[nbaker00]

Definatly a good spotting and photos.
There is a white M1 for sale at a dealer I deal with in Canada. They are asking around the $200k mark.

[Casa]

[Proboscis]

yeah, we do quite a bit.

about a week ago we did a fully built 71 Carrera RS with full standalone. 350K car.

[TheCheff]

^^ yeah it must pay to be 1 of 2 authorized HKS F-con V pro dealer/tuner's in canada. Best standalone out for sure.

[nesterFortune]

Very nice. Didn't know there was one in Cowtown :drool:

I think I saw it driving down MacLeod by the central library there today at about 6. Love that car...

[JZS_RCTS]

maybe. it got picked up on monday

[maqbar]

Amazing Spot. That is super rare. I had a matchbox car version of the M1 like 25 years ago. I love the shape of that car.
