    Celebrity CSL

    As somebody who looks more than comments, but knows and respects both Markos and HB Chris as men and for all they do for the community, I feel the need to state the obvious here. We lose good kind people here because of exactly the above - its how we lost Yannick and others, its why the most...

    CSL Auction Results / Sales

    Hi Rouge Far from a record price at auction - €578,750 is the current record price in a public auction and this was for a car with a non matching numbers engine, although last Bat made. I had the Bonhams car looked at the weekend and unfortunately, while they claim that is a matching numbers...

    BaT Strikes(or doesn't) Again

    Dick and its sad, because as a community site and an idea, it is and was great idea. But the saturation of dealers on the site either selling for somebody else or something they purchased because "that would do well on BAT". Means more and more is being hidden from buyers, who at the moment...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    @wkohler nice write up and great contribution to the subject matter, thank you. Knowing a little about you, I don't think there is any part of this subject on hand and or anybody who could described you as a dealer, not a bit, you simply are not a dealer Dick in asking for comments in...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    Yes, Keshav the drum beaters are also another issue that would be answered by identification as a dealer, as most are other dealers, maybe as I mention above with some kind of different color on their comments. I realize I am talking as a potential buyer and or a simple member of this E9...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    Hi @howS Thank you for well thought out contribution, you sound like a good dealer. You put in the time and effort to do a stellar job and most importantly you correct identify yourself as a dealer, thank you for that. Nobody imagines its easy selling on BAT, in fact I think everybody here...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    This answer is legal gobbledegook intended to do exactly what it has done, confuse the matters. It certainly doesn't answer your question. For my two pennies, I just banged this down quickly, didn't even spell check and my thoughts are probably incoherent, but it is a Friday night and the boss...

    1974 3.0CSL on BaT

    Hi Stevehose, I never had one come off on a street Bat, remembering the center upright is bolted through the roof and the correct clip also clamps to the structure of the roof, not just the trim, absolutely no reason to worry at street speeds.................unless :)......well at speeds I...

    1974 3.0CSL on BaT

    Ouch - yes, that actually hurts me to look at it should make every E9 lover wince. It should only intrigue you, if you could stabbed in the stomach by a stranger, standing totally non plussed looking at said stranger and say "thats intriguing" otherwise your reaction should be more in keeping...

    Euro 1975 3.3Li on BaT

    I have to admit, it is one of my (and there are a few) pet peeves on BAT. A dealer is a dealer, there are dealers on hard surface sites all over the country who only take in consignments and they have to register as dealers. If you are taking profit out of selling cars on a regular basis, you...

    1974 3.0CSL on BaT

    If I may on your last point and I am certainly not saying this is what has happened. But one would use an aluminum trunk in a restoration for a possible few reasons. One, it enhances the offering to non knowledgable minds. It is often presumed that all CSL's have all four aluminum openings...

    Lithium finding

    Hi Arde, Firstly, if your son is interested in further discussions about what we do as a company and the ups and downs of whats possible in mining I would be happy to impart an old grey headed (how I wish I had enough grey to cover my head :-)) business mind. I am certainly not technical, as...

    1974 3.0CSL on BaT

    That made me LOL :) The circle jerking support network of other dealers and a few punters has become the ruination of BAT for me, although Jim Jones would no doubt be proud of the sycophantic adulation being poured from dealer to dealer.

    Lithium finding

    Hi Scott, Yes, many of them like Gillman, I could share so many horror stories for place that are similar. Even worse all over the country, in fact the world, there are these giant tailings dams full of contaminated water or just mountains of contaminated rock piles, again left for the average...

    Lithium finding

    Funnily, small world eh? :) I now look forward to the day we meet in person even more We actually have now built more SART (sulfidization, acidification, recycling and thickening) plants than just about anybody out there, it's an interesting process (when done correctly) invented by one of our...

    Lithium finding

    Gents, Might I comment as somebody who is involved in mining, has been involved in many projects over 35 years in many different countries and in the last few years helping lead a company involved in cleaning waste water in mining. I have spent most of those years on the other side of the...

    HELP ! E3 panel under steering wheel

    Thank you for this, but that looks very different to my picture, as I hope you can see, much bigger opening, maybe for the adjustable steering and the left hand edge that has broken on mine seems to be much longer than yours shows

    HELP ! E3 panel under steering wheel

    Hi All, Well the 3.3Li came back from its year long exhibition and no doubt through age and nothing anybody did, the panel below the steering wheel has now cracked just above the orange button here. I have no idea if this panel is the same across the range of E3s, obviously not worried about...
