Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks, Greg

Congrats on finding one of the M12s.
I worked on artwork of the gauges and labeling along with the design of Warranty Handbook and the Owners Handbook outlining all of the controls and features of the car.
I have these manuals available along with replacement labels for the engine compartment.
There are many parts of the M12 taken from the bins of Lamborghini, and also Ford and Pontiac. Vector wanted to keep the price down so they robbed parts bins of Ford and GM along with the Diablo. The front turn signal lights are from the Mazda Miata as I recall and the rear tail lights were Pontiac.
The interior was purely custom fitted leather and ultra suade material.
I have many factory photos of the Vector M12s being built and may have photos of your car, not sure, but I'll check.
I also have the huge M12 brochure in a pdf format and some "insider info" too.
I have the emergency tool that raises the headlights manually also.
Let me know if you are interested in any of this stuff.
