This video is from Dec. 2020, so I'm sure it has been posted here before on NAM, but I couldn't find it with cursory search.

I enjoyed watching the video, and the car itself also looked familiar, and indeed had seen it before in an old copy of MC2 magazine.

I've often wondered what happened to all those heavily modified R53's from back in the day that people spent so much money on,
neat to see one resurface intact with period pieces in place.

Man - I haven't seen that one in some time!

Not for me - never cared for the wide look or fender flares, and I think that all of the aftermarket panel kits that were available for the gen 1 cars were butt ugly (including the JCW rear aero bumper cover). I am not sure which front and rear bumper covers those are, but egads!

Okay, I have to say something nice now. I like the seats.
