    “@jtzer I was the founder of Classic Promenade and sold the dealership to two young, smart and hard-working couples on June 30th. I completely inspected this Bentley and drove it extensively in June, even in the 100 plus F temperatures in Phoenix. (I’m a senior RROC and concours judge). It essentially drives as a new S1 Continental. I am now in Lucerne, Switzerland driving our R-Type Mulliner Lightweight Saloon for two months from Ireland to Tuscany and back. Cheers and best of luck to the…”

    “Awesome! Looking forward to it. Sadly, my wife passed away a couple of weeks ago from a long fight with breast cancer. I have two 1984 533i’s one is a parts car, the other is a work in progress, and I have spent so much time and money working on it that I simply don’t want the hassle any longer. I have always wanted the original M5, and my wife would be happy that I made that dream a reality. So looking forward to it!!”

    “The rarity of the M81 McLaren Mustang DSO kit cannot be overstated. Maybe 20 were made in addition to the 10 M81 McLaren Mustang prototypes. Of the DSOs on the road, I know of maybe 5. I own one which is currently on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Added note, the rear GT Enduro spoiler is even more rare.”

    “One of my long-time car friends is a national champion level modeler. When my wife and I married his wedding gift to us was a custom-built diorama of a C-Type Jaguar at le Mans. Remains my second favorite gift from the wedding (my wife’s unending love is the most favorite).
    There have been far too many years passed since I build a car or airplane model. I have quite a few unbuilt kits on the shelf, I need to either get building or move them along.”

    “I almost bought one of these in silver blue 45+ years ago but my dog could not stand up in the back so I bought a used Audi Fox wagon (think VW Dasher) instead.
    I’m excited to have this opportunity to own one now. I was impressed with the Sellers response and candid video talk. I’m unsure if I’ll meet the Seller but I want to thank you.

    “Like others, hopefully you will take this to the Historics and let it eat! I spectate and enjoy getting to see the first car I ever drove on a road course – the #78 Boss 302 Matthews car that you would be running with if you go. The guy that restored it barely knew me and still let me run it in the Cobra Club novice group around 35 years ago now that I think about it! Changed my life – drag raced one more time after that before putting fat tires all around on my 70 Fastback 🙂 Guy that has…”

    “My Dad and I were at our local Ford dealer buying yet another LTD for family use back in the day. Our sales guy was working on my Dad’s most recent offer (a little game they played). A car carrier truck pulled up front at the dealership and our salesman got all crazy. He said his new ’71 Mach 1 was on the truck and would we mind if he took a minute to get it on the ground. Dad said sure and we all went out to see a very red Mach 1. They got it off the truck and the new owner was just giddy with…”

    “Quick comment here! See the white sticker on the bottom corner of the windshield on driver’s side? This is the genuine RCA sticker for parking lot, when Pat Ieraci owned this Volvo since it was new. Pat Ieraci was the influence with RCA to sign Jefferson Airplane. I emailed with (the late) Ieraci’s daughter. She remembered the Volvo with fondness and said her father dearly loved the car. We owned the Volvo and sold it to the present owner. My husband is a life-long master mechanic and…”

    “Thanks everyone I’m so happy. This has been my dream car since I first saw one on the Dallas North Tollway back in 1994. I’ve spent decades trying to find the right one. Thanks everyone for bidding and the great sportsmanship. This is a wonderful community!”

    “Gleaming Black shows off so well MG’s first “envelope body”. It’s often said that a black car is the hardest to do right and the toughest to keep clean, but when both are done to this level the result is quietly stunning.
    This car looks to be Very Well done in every respect.”

    This will probably outlast their 2026 offerings.”

    “Fun looking D1.
    Nice modifications, and it appears that the seller has had a lot of fun while keeping it in fine running shape. Though lots of miles, I bet that the next owner can get years more use if they stay on top of issues as they arise.
    A five speed, a 300Tdi engine, and a first series Disco….what’s not to like?”

    “I just had my ’72 4.5 overhauled…new injectors, hoses, belts, plugs, wires, coil…
    Runs better than a brand new Caddy!!! So responsive yet regal to drive. Ice cold A/C. Dream car. They are fabulous when tuned. GLWTA!”

    “A huge thank you to @pkatzakian (previous owner) for kindly getting these period photographs over to me. Following the discussion in the comments, Phil was able to send them through, and I’m delighted to be able to share them here with everyone.
    These photographs show RT3-468 during Phil’s ownership wearing its California Cooler livery and add another documented chapter to the car’s history and provenance. It has been a real pleasure reconnecting with Phil after all these years and…”

    “Hi to all. Yes I am happy to own an Elan again. I use to own an Elan S4 1970 back in 1971 in New York and I’ve never stopped missing it since I sold it after a couple of years ….even dreaming about it every now and then!”

    “My brother Doug, working with our aeronautical engineer father, the late James L. Amick, handcrafted this line in ’83 – ’84. It was a natural extension of the original Windmobile, featured on the cover of Popular Science in the 70s, which he created while just a teenager. The Windmobile was even more experimental: it was conceived as a sailing vehicle (originally on ice) and had no motors. To this end, it was fitted with two concentric steering wheels — one for normal steering, and a larger…”
