Please refresh my memory as to what the first VIN is for a coupe to be considered a Batmobile.

Wow is that a record for a CSL £250,000 !!!

Not quite a record

Wow is that a record for a CSL £250,000 !!!

Canepa sold one for about 400k in 2015, and another Taiga one changed hands in 2015 in the same neighborhood.

Either way, the tide has risen!

$341k for a Batmobile

Gents and ladies

This was my old Batmobile and I am very, very happy for the new owner and seller.

$341,000 is not anything like a record for a Batmobile, I personally know of three that have sold in the $400k range in the last 18 months.

They are very special cars and had been way to inexpensive for too long. This car has original engine and gearbox, how many of the original 110 series one Batmobiles still have that?

The sale was very lackluster and yet this car did very very well, considering everything.

Apparently sold for 341k w premium...

Watched it drive up on the stage and sell for $305,000. It was a sight to behold. BEAUTIFUL!

 

[RogerB]

hope it hits the $250 - $350k estimate!

This is a great result, especially when you consider how soft some other makes are performing in Scottsdale. Are CSLs finally being recognized outside the BMW circle?

Sure seems like they're being recognized. Good sale.
