I was pretty shocked by that estimate, we'll see what it brings.

It has a 2 parts back spoiler ? Pff...

 

[kurtd]

It just sold for 130k

 

[eastsideM3]

actually 120 with a 10% buyers premium. Hammer was 120

Website states $150K (around 100K euros) inclusive of buyers premium.

My guess is that it won't be staying stateside.

120K from a high estimate of 220K....that's quite a haircut. Someone needs to go back to school and learn the market.

I bid on the car. I do think the new owner got the car for an excellent price. I should have gone a little higher. The car with exception to the incorrect rear spoiler and wheels (owner still had the original wheels), was a very nice original car. You cant buy and restore a second series bat for 131K and this car was concourse. Im kind of sad I didnt go a little higher but I guess it wasnt meant to be. The bidding stalled at 100 and then at 120 so the owner lifted the reserve. Not sure who the new owner is, but maybe they can chime in. There was another premium for exporting the car so maybe if the website lists it at 150 it did in fact go back overseas. Still a nice deal for the new owner, well done.

Just for your info.

Below a link with some interesting photos of the Taiga 4355049 before the renovation. This CSL was then renovated and was sold at Bonhams in August 2009 for 150k USD:

CSL 1973, thanks for that. Must never have had the spoiler kit, explains the two fin spoiler but you wonder why bother.

$150k is a tidy sum to hand over for the car.
