FS: rare sales!

[Zychotic1]

It's not even the only one on US soil. I'm in Pennsylvania of all places and I've seen one.

there's 2 here in Louisville, ky alone, aswell as 2 more in Lexington (altho one of those 2 is nothing more than a parts car for the other)

I've also seen one in Indianapolis, In. and one in Memphis Tn.

[TheCracker]

That's taking the piss. A fairly minor car from a dreadful film, worth £150k?

1990 Alfa Romeo SZ in the US for $119,500.

That car is just so...scrunchy. like, why does it look do fake?

I've always loved the Alfa SZ, but it's proportions do have a slight whiff of kitcar to them 👍

One of those cars that look so much better in real life. Pictures never do them justice.


$120,000? - There's one due to be auctioned in the UK with an estimate of $32 - $40,000.

BMW M1 for nearly $600,000
http://www.autotraderclassics.com/classic-car/1980-BMW-M1-2264268.xhtml?conversationId=2588803

I don't know if it's due to the lack of them hitting the market driving up the rarity, or what, but M1 prices have been rising fast over the past few years. A couple of the AHG models have gone for $800K.

Not sure if or or or is the appropriate reaction to that.

Looks like it belongs on the set of a 1970's sci-fi movie.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

I didn't know that these were even sold in US..

Wouldn't call a Blitzen rare at all if I'm honest.

Depends where you live. I don't think it was ever sold in the UK, so any that are will be Japanese imports.

I guess their regularity here distorted my view somewhat. After research I found out the 2003 model alone was limited to around 1,500 units. Sure seemed like more.

While Wikipedia said all markets bar the United States I don't think I've ever seen a third generation Blitzen that was sold locally.

In the UK Blitzen's are pretty rare, I never realised they made so many units of it, I assumed it was very limited production as we never see them here.

Damn son. There's around seven for sale at the moment, including wagons and sedans. See a red wagon just about everyday too - seems to be a company car of sorts.

That's one hell of a company car

Some mega metal went under the hammer yesterday at RM's 'Pinnacle Portfolio' auction in Monterey.

Some really interesting cars, including an Enzo Ferrari gifted to the Pope that sold for $6M!!

Top price paid was for a 250LM at $17.6M, followed by a F1 'LM specification' at $13.75M. 250GT SWB 'Competizione' failed to sell at $13.2M, as did a 250GT LWB California Spyder.

Watching the bidding last night was insane. Minimum bets of $250,000 were required for some of them.

So this modified 997 with a central driving position is coming up for auction:

Not sure if this will mean much to my American friends, but this is one very, very rare mk1 Escort...

Don't think a 1952 Chevy 3800 is all that rare, but this one was owned by Steve McQueen:

Yeah living in the same place, I see these quite regularly and they do seem to be for sale a lot.
