These UFO CSLs still exist, one is run by a dear friend often in Europe and was in fact next to us at LMC last year, the other sits quietly in another friends garage and hasn't moved in anger for a very long while.

Guys, This car seems to have bounced around dealer to dealer over the last few years, if it has ever ended up in an end users hands, it doesn't seem anybody wanted it for long. It has also been in a couple of major auctions including RM I believe. There were 59 street cars made in blue ( I...

Guys We had a rush into our E9s and BAT became the chosen place for selling, we saw dealers who knew absolutely nothing about E9s buying and adding lipstick to some very average cars, look around the web, there are many with unrealistic prices still in dealers stock. E9s became the hottest...

Damn - I would have taken a couple Don

@Wes and @Christoph and others, here as promised better pictures of the E21 Warhol originally did for BMW. Apprantl;y the flowers were what he thought would be the absolute opposite of the masculinity of car racing. Yes the temptation to create it is strong and I do have a bit of a bastard E21...

Hi @Christoph Great to see you back my friend. I only knew of the two he did. I have never heard about a third car myself. The Gp 5 E21 was the one he painted all over the car with a roller, including the flowers were with a roller, so 100% that part of the story is correct. I also...

Hi Steve It was the Warhol car and Walter Maurer who painted most of the other art cars. He also has repaired all that have been damaged including the Warhol car. The story goes it was Walters street M1 sitting there and yes, when Warhol made the offer Walter refused it :) Also, a little...

We have a saying in English "some people know the price of everything and the value of nothing" or another from the great American Mr Benjamin Franklin "the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten" I see lots of comments on social media about the...

Being a proud Limey, I have to admit seeing these often at car shows back home in the 80s and 90s. Always interested me in the similar way the Jensen Interceptor did, but always felt the Interceptor was a better all around package. Scratched the Jensen itch a few years ago, with this white...

I am guessing you might need a lifetime of coffee for that equation to materialize :-) Like most of us, it would be interesting to know the ask, I am sure it will surface soon enough

Yes, sad day Scott, his work was truly iconic and I love that these two cars really spoke of his transition from two dimension work, to his later period which was all three dimensional.

In my crystal ball, I look back and I can see the salesman saying to Ron "yeah, shame but the 3.0 is not out until next year for model year 73" ......Just a guess :cool: 2800 is still a great car - because what do we love most......how stunningly beautiful it is

Well I guess I have learned something then, as I explained it's not an unusual occurrence and unfortunately one of the weaknesses I see on BAT that allows flagging of comments, normally done as described. My apologies for my wrong assumption in this case

I am afraid it's very rarely anything to do with BAT, it's often the sellers friends all coming in, thinking they are being helpful and flagging the comments so they are removed. Not unusual and very see through unfortunately

Well, I suppose somebody has to say it. Wolf is a good man and a friend to many on this forum, he knows E9s and sells many, including some important ones over the years You very clearly state "Your job is to import cars" yet you call yourself "private" You are a dealer dealing in cars, yet...

Hi Scott :) That is very true, but I have my Schnitzer I am very happy with :) Thankfully for a change this is a real car, actually was next to us at Le Mans Classic in 2014 - much longer story, owners son was driving and lets just say, understanding the rev limits is not his greatest skill...

Some great pictures and memories there mate :-) Driving on the lawn in the Procar, what an experience. Still looking for that crazy picture of Mike Pelly driving the golf cart with Jennifer riding fireman style hold the front clip of the Procar on the roof. So many people were taking...

It was a fun day, but I have to say Laguna Seca and Pebble in 2016, shown in your pictures above Andrew, will always be the ultimate for me.

@adawil2002 ...... @Dick Steinkamp ......... @rsporsche and others .......Ok gents, on the 3.3li - I have tried to get as much as I can and hope pictures turn out - see below for comments and let me know if you need anything else Pete width between seats Underside, looking back from hand...
