This should be interesting value wise, auction in Monaco on May 1 selling 4355031 Batmobile series 2. Interesting history, not sure but i think Werner Hand owns this or did own it at one time. Check it out....

They're also selling the legendary Buegelfalte, which should go for a tidy sum. It couldn't hurt the value of our coupes if this thing goes for millions.

Here is the comp

This car sold last summer at Bonham's Auction in Carmel/Pebble Beach

I like it better, because of its unique color. 150K seems like a bargain to me in this condition--nowhere to go but up for this one.

The white car is absolutely perfect, will be interesting to see what she brings.

Bat Comparable Sale

Here is a link to a nut and bolt restored BAT that changed hands last summer at Carmel. 150K seems fair to me in this condition--they can only go up from here. Plus, Taiga is a much better color for a 70s car.

Ah, a Yannick-mobile! Tasty, but I think I'll keep the Arizona winter-home...

Indeed a very nice car and specially the photos from Villa d'Este are nice (make a search on Internet). When looking at the interior, it looks a little bit worn as regards the centre console ("it looks like a dog has eaten a part of it").

Normally, this car should reach 150-200k euro as it is a pretty late series 2 Bat and compared with 2275512 (125k euro at Christies 2006), with a more interesting history.

However, I think the very special "328 Bügelfalte" at the same auction will reach a very high figure and that could hold back the price a little bit on the Bat. It can also be the other way around, the 328 will go sky high and the Bat will follow.

Cheers
