another coupe being sold by IvoChristoph (Netherlands)
Great looking car at first glance. But, good grief, "Additional equipment includes a sliding steel sunroof" while many of us lust after an original slicktop…
odd.Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that. Personally I've always hated sunroofs for 3 reasons:
1. They add weight where you least want it which is at the highest point of the car
2. Being tall, I often have issues of not having enough headroom. The sunroof makes you lose precious space there.
3. It gives another entry point for rust
This being said, I can certainly understand that, for others, the advantages outweigh the inconveniences. Full respect for that
The seller comments state shipping, import duties, and delivery are included in the hammer price. This one is certainly a looker; will be interesting to see how it does.Gorgeous car.
If it was in the USA, it'll get to $130k.
May be hard to reach $100k since it's in the NE.
Ha. We are missing one datum. The length of the arms. The optimal arm position is what matters, and it can be achieved by reclining the seat or moving it back. A tall trunk person with vey short arms may have to keep the seat at 90 degrees, and that would be a problem. I know a person like that, and he does not drive an E9.odd.
I'm 6' 3" with a long torso.
plenty of headroom with my sunroof e9
Is it in the Netherlands like the BAT ad says?Yeah, I saw Gary Knox's Granatrot coupe several times. That color is stunning in person.
not if you have a '74 adjustable steering column ...Ha. We are missing one datum. The length of the arms.

Gary's car was a similar but different (Porsche) color ... but a very pretty car.I was commenting on how beautiful that color is in person. My friend Gary Knox had it on his car: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/lorelei-will-be-available-for-purchase.32115/post-262906
Ivo has reached much higher - there was a polaris CSi (feb '24) that sold for 180k on BaT.Gorgeous car.

Good point, the other saving grace I verified yesterday is that the original horse hair seat sags by inches with age... New seat pads would be a problem.not if you have a '74 adjustable steering column ...
