We all remember “theonlyone” from 2021 on BaT. The Malaga CSi is back and last time it got to $72.5K in 2025 and did not meet reserve after reaching $91K 2021. Will be interesting see where it goes this time but I think it was overpriced last time. Why do sellers think it is important to show tire treads on ten year old tires? And the seller was absent during the last auction.

Reading those bills for parts… $1400.00 for injectors, $1400.00 for windshield. 4-5x normal prices at that time and still 3x prices today.

Someone got taken advantage of.


The engine bay is a 6.

No AC.

Is it possible that they only thing they’ve managed to do for maintenance is to change the spark plugs in five years?

And really - who would drive a car with a fan that’s chipped out like that?

Funny how there is more discussion regarding HBChris than the car on this auction. Nice!

No AC.

I wonder what percentage of Euro CSI’s came with AC and a sunroof. I suspect it’s quite low.

This car has been around the block so to speak. Has it ever been owned by an enthusiast? Not recently. This fact alone should affect bidding. It’s a nice car but unlike Kirk’s CSA, that @HB Chris just found a new home for, I wouldn’t call it an honest car.
