I recently sold one of these examples for $1995 and have sold very clean examples for up to $6000. A great value considering the price of M3 and how special and rare these are.
These are getting very hard to find. RARE late NO GUARD.
Nice to have a good working example, ready to go! 
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
