Keshav - completely agree. It was strange, the recent sale of the CSL on Bring a Trailer was also a very heavy car, even had headlight washer system, nothing wrong with having these "comforts", just makes it heavy for a CSL. Thankfully my Bat has no creature comforts and the original owner...

The Dubai car was sold for $218k US dollars I believe and yes, many details also not correct with that car, wrong wheels, wrong spoiler, not original color etc................ If I remember correctly, chassis 4355046 ...........this chassis 4355046 was recently for sale again in Australia, for...

OMG ! Cheesy Video, incorrect statements - but I guess it appeals to some out there, certainly seems too - . I wish the owner well - and this is no refection on him/her or what seems like a very nice CSL - but I understand this seller takes something like 20% of the sale price o_O so I hope...

Very sad, gutted, I considered Eric a friend and will miss him. I don't know that I ever saw him and he wasn't smiling and enjoying life. We recently spent a little time together in Monterey and was discussing the new lady in his life etc. Eric's enthusiasm and passion lifted the profile of...

Thank you Christoph - a very full and informative post, with great pictures. If I may add my understanding on the BMW Factory Kombi's and English Estate cars ........... Just three Kombi's made for the BMW team, which were used extensively for both Rallye cars as you mention and the early CSL...

This car is above is very different to the factory Kombis and looks almost home made to me in the pictures, as it neither looks like the factory cars or the UK built ones. I wonder if this was part of the E3 horde that was for sale a while ago, there was an extremely rough car amongst...

Up in the PNW just north of Seattle USA

I love everything about this car - the restoration, the art work, the way it makes you smile. I commend the owner for all parts of the execution he commissioned here - its absolutely beautiful I wonder if anybody actually knows Christian Zschocke personally, I would love to reach out to him...

It was great meeting you and a few others, thank you for coming by. Great timing in your picture, that crowd I was speaking with was the BMW senior execs at the show :-) they came by twice. It was a tough class, but the prewar European always is and our old Italian Gal, got a 2nd in class...

Hi Ohmess, That wasn't me sir, I broke down on Big Sur after pulling over to the side, everybody went past me fine. I had a puddle of what looked like a Starbucks Latte on the lay by , but nothing terrible for the road, although terrible for little old me though :-)

Look forward to it and you will enjoy The Quail mate

Thanks Steve and good luck to you as well my friend To anybody wanting to know about the Thursday Tour ending up in Carmel........not this year unfortunately. We have been told Tour D'Elegence ends at the turn around and then everybody is on their own for lunch etc - so maybe the odd owner...

Hi Chris No, I was talking about my E9 in 2016, getting second in class for 100 years of BMW - BTW beaten by a 507 that had a $1M RM restoration (to me almost like a win:) ). Maybe it was Paul C who called me up that time. I cannot tell you how chuffed/humbled I was, as this is the only time...

Me too Chris, me too :-) ............although you have already done it once

Thank you :-) I won't know the judges until the day, but would be fun if it was, although even if Jim, its all very official like for that 15 mins, so wouldn't be able to laugh about "eh, Jim, nice to meet you we have a mutual acquaintance ..............................................:-)

Never miss it - I will be dragging my wife's Nash Metropolitan down to be sold at Goodings More importantly, I will have my 1928 Isotta Fraschini on the lawn on Sunday. Feel free to come and see a sweating, overworked, crazy nut job trying to make it as clean as poss for judging

Ohmess, Thank you for the kind and funny words, you made me smile for the memories (which I will never forget) and the comment, love the picture btw.

Well I guess I am going to be the one, as everybody else is dancing around the subject.........while the car is what it is, everybody with a modicum of eyesight can clearly see it for what it really is, so no further comment needed there. From a rust bucket to a concours car every car has its...

Well, I am going to stick to my rules, find the positive or say nothing Let me think how can I be positive about this car, well I suppose I should say "congratulations" for getting somebody to bid $53k on BAT recently for this car, that is amazing and you should be heartedly congratulated...

I was watching and I think your estimation on $$$ and reasons why are bang on. Somebody got a great car for the money. Love those 4Cs BTW Pete
