It says it's a 3 litre, then a 2.8. Presume it's a 2.8.
I know who built that one (and it wasn't that Ludis Currus lot). They were a dodgy lot of car dealers by all accounts.
It will be well built and looks a nice one.
Been off the road for a good while and only done 600 miles in 8 years.
I am obviously interested to see what it fetches.

It also hasn't been re-registered with the DVLA. Still shows as a Z3, which could hamper the value IMO.
The auction is now live for 7 days.
The seller states he paid £124,000 for the car when new (finished). The dealer selling those made a LOT of money from a few people.
I am VERY interested to see what it reaches.

I was surprised that the reserve was set so low TBH. The seller paid a LOT of money for that to be built.
It is a very authentic replica, especially the interior.
Don't think it will break any records, though.
I can't show my wife if it achieves less than £50k, or she will divorce me. I can't afford that, either!

My wife nearly fell through the floor when there was a locomotive trust on the telly saying that their loco cost £50k to get on track, and I said that was around the same as fake Ferrari outside

The registration on the car is different to the V5C.
The number has been changed but it is still registered as a BMW Z3. For the kind of money they expect it should be registered correctly as a 250 California.

A kit car, which is what these things are, should be registered as the original donor vehicle.

There is a good argument for both IMO, depending on which side of the fence you are.
If they remained registered as what they were, it would be confusing to many, including the rozzers as it doesn't look anything like a Z3.
But they are essentially a Z3 which just look different, so I can see the logic.
These are not kit cars, they are 'rebodies', so come under different rules. We don't need an SVA (which is part of the appeal as SVAs are a nightmare from what I've heard) as enough of the car underneath remains, according to the legislation.
What "Should" be done is to obey the law.
The law allows rebody'ers to fill in the DVLA Form V627/1 which is used to declare where the bits for the kit came from. It's a points based form where different components add up to different number of points and if enough parts come from a single donor then the car keeps its original registration number. Otherwise it might get a 'Q' or even have to go through a full IVA.
But one element of the form is that it also allows the car to have its description (ie make model) changed to reflect what the builder wants to call his creation.
@Dxbolton, for example, (If I'm not mistaken) completed that form and, as is his right, changed the description to reflect what he built.
I, on the other hand, believe that I have simply added a full body kit to my Z3 but it's still a Z3 and is registered and insured as such. (ie insured as a z3 with full body kit and fibreglass panels). I might even put a z3 badge on the back.
But in the case of us 507'ers we still have BMW badges. If I was plod I'd be pulling over that ferrero that appears to driving on plates stolen from a BMW.
Anyway. To cut a long story short the DVLA allows rebody'ers and kit car builders to name (ie make/model) their creations if they wish and who are to say it's right or wrong.
Are you allowed to give it whatever name you like?
Yes within reason. You couldn't use the F word though.
Why not? I call mine the 'F' word all the time, so it's used to it by now.
Hang on.....which 'F' word are we talking about? The seven letter one, or the four letter one?
I'm gonna call mine "Pond's Attempt. Not Terribly Skillful". Or "PANTS" for short.
The car is struggling with bids with only 2 hours to go.
It only got an MOT today. Talk about leaving things to the last minute!

There are plenty more without using an F.

Not very good IMO. Makes me want to go and get my car from the bodyshop and run into halfords for a dozen rattle cans of red paint TBH.
