Pre-bids

1997 BMW Z3 Roadster 1.9

Highlights

  • GoldenEye-spec Atlanta Blue metallic with Sand Beige leather colour combination
  • Unmodified example
  • History file with invoices spanning more than 10 years
  • Recent mechanical refurbishment, including brakes, suspension components, and engine mounts
  • Garaged and kept covered throughout current ownership

The Appeal

The BMW Z3 1.9 Roadster arrived in 1995 as Bond's wheels in GoldenEye, and this 1997 example wears the screen-accurate Atlanta Blue metallic over Sand Beige leather combination that appeared in the film: a specification with enduring appeal among 007 enthusiasts.
This car has covered 65,000 miles and comes with a history file containing invoices going back more than a decade. It has been garaged and kept covered throughout the current owner's tenure and reportedly remains entirely unmodified. Recent mechanical attention has been thorough, covering engine mounts, suspension components, brakes, and more, with a fresh oil service also carried out. Full details of the work completed can be found below.
With an MOT valid until March 2027, two keys, and the original handbook pack, this Z3 is presented ready to be enjoyed.

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidders responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
