Any chance you would examine the policy capability of department of defence? All Gov departments have academic expertise in their field but defence has not one single civil servant with a degree, masters, or PhD in defence, security, or international relations. None. Zero.

Behold: the 1990 BMW (E30) M3 Convertible – one of the best (and most sought after) driver cars of its day.
Only 700 were made between 1986 and 1992 and this vehicle is one of only twelve, unequipped with catalytic converters, produced for the Spanish market.
With just three owners, a recent refresh and a new canvas top, the car will be offered at auction this September in very decent and near-original condition.
