There's absolutely nothing wrong with a 2012 car that's been fully modded and has the longevity of a few miles on it.
Don't listen to all these negative waves.😜

+1 Dab and Mark  The great thing about early M3Ws is that they can easily be upgraded as required. Re the price, a new one now starts at about £34,000 on the road before any options. In 2013 the basic model was about £31,700 on the road and the Superdry about £3k more. So the asking price doesn't look too bad as a starting point for negotiations.

One more thing:
The tyres may look good but should be changed in the near future because of age. Rubbers get harder an loose grip with time...
For me it's 5 years maximum to run a set of tyres.

Speed I think it has the steering comfort mod & the tyres are probably good for another year 3000 miles then put Blockleys on. The original compensator will last much longer providing it has the grease nipple fitted, mine is on 9000 miles. The rectifier can be changed for Harley D part much cheaper than a morgan part. The rear drive sprocket may last for double current miles. I dont have the cooling fan & never felt the need for it.
Be aware Morgan servicing is very expensive & may take more than one day. Parts availability may be "erratic". If you buy it change the fuel hose clamps immediately for proper hose clamps. Providing you leave your rose tints at home you will be thrilled with it.
