I purchased a M100 SE in June last year. It was a little on the rough side to say the least although the price did reflect this 3000 from ebay.
The registration is H144 WMW be interested to hear any history.
It did have 8mths MOT on it and drove spot on.
It is currently undergoing full re-spray (BRG) and full re-trim. some of you may have seen this on the M100 facebook site. Some excellent work from Sean at inspire automotive based in Lincolnshire.
No major problems encountered as yet apart from the usual problems with seals.
It has a windscreen crack and this needs replacing. Has anybody had this done via insurance as I was concerned that Footman James seemed to think this was a simle jo and a local fitter could do this easily??! In my limited experience nothing is that easy. any thoughts
Looking forward to it all being finished for summer.

Welcome Jessicasdad

Re. your windscreen question have a look at the latest topic on this here...... viewtopic.php?f=32&t=26348&p=337033&hilit=Windscreen#p337033

If you need to know something quickly try out the search facility (box in top right hand corner) Another useful source of information and write ups is the Wikilec facility (toolbar at the top of the page). And don't forget the workshop manuals (check out the bottom of Brit-car-nut signature)

Incidentally, your car has been off the road for the majority of the past 7 years. You may want to check whether the cambelt and associated parts were done during this time period. If not, it would be advisable to factor this into the equation (all parts readily available from Rockauto in the States at about a third of UK prices )

Got no history with the car at all so yes full service including cambelt and tensioner is on the cards.

it has been neglected for a while by the looks of it, but it will be loved now.
The next few weeks should see some big progress. re-spray and re-trim nearing completion.
Servicing/MOT booked in for March ready for me being back in the UK in April as I work in Oman.

A run out somewhere sounds great.
