2005 WIESMANN MF3 ROADSTER

KEY FACTS

• A wonderful example of the esoteric German roadster, with very low mileage from new.
• Under the bonnet is a BMW S54 straight-six, as seen in the E46 M3, with up to 338bhp sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed SMG-II automated manual transmission with paddle shift.
• First registered in August 2005, the car was purchased by its first owner from the Drehzahl & Momente dealership in Münster. It was then sold to its second and current owner in 2016, and has been regularly maintained, despite its low mileage.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in the Maserati hue of Grigio Palladio Metallic, this MF3 Roadster was specially ordered with a red leather interior and a matching steering wheel.
• Factory features include a polished aluminium radiator grille, xenon headlamps and air-conditioning. The cabin also features heated seats with embroidered gecko mascots, chrome instrument rings and heater controls, silver gauge faces, stainless steel door trims, and a wider body front and back.
• The car rides on a set of 19-inch, two-piece BBS LM forged alloy wheels, which are pristine.
• The seller has also added a wind deflector for increased occupant comfort and an iPod connector for the radio, and has also had a wedge cushion, an emergency bag and the interior mirror custom-made in red leather to match the interior.
• This MF3 will be accompanied by all of its original manuals, handbooks and documents, including its stamped service book.

CONDITION

• No bodywork damage.
• The paintwork is believed to be original and is in excellent condition, with only a few minor stone chips, in line with the car’s age and sparing use.
• The exterior trim is unmarked, and the black canvas convertible hood is in great shape, with no rips, tears or fading.
• As is expected given the car’s very low mileage, the cabin is incredibly smart, with only the slightest creases on the red leather upholstery.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• The car’s last TÜV inspection was conducted in September 2020, which it passed without any faults or warnings being noted.
• A vehicle valuation was done at 8,011 km with a rating of condition 1-.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Wiesmann’s most recent routine maintenance was an oil and filter change, which was carried out by Auto Sauer Bamberg in November 2020 at 8,189 km.
• Prior to this, recent services were performed by Auto Sauer Bamberg in June 2019 at 8,066 km, and by Schneider Frensdorf in September 2018 at 7,884 km.
