New Make, Model, and Category Pages: Bobsy, Cushman Truckster, Lagonda 3-Litre, Right-Hand Drive Category, and More!

April’s showers brought us a huge, blooming field of updates to the ever-expanding collection of BaT make and model pages. Check out the newest additions (including our new right-hand drive category!), and be sure to follow those that interest you in order to receive notifications when new auctions go live.

If you’d like to receive alerts whenever we announce a new batch of pages, please follow the Make and Model Updates category.

NEW CATEGORY PAGES

Right-hand drive automobiles emulated the horse-drawn carriages of yore, and while the US shifted toward left-hand-drive vehicles, this arrangement remains the norm in many former Commonwealth nations and Japan. If the wheel is on the dexter side, you’ll find it in this new category page—particularly helpful in identifying JDM and UK-market vehicles of models sold globally.

NEW MAKE PAGES

Bobsy Sports Racers was founded by Jerry Mong in 1958 with the introduction of the Mong Special. By 1976, the firm was producing a variety of racers including Formula Fords, Vees, and Atlantics.

Classic Roadsters, established by Gary Rutherford in 1979, was a replica kit car manufacturer that also produced its own cars like the VW-based Duchess. The firm went defunct in 2008.

The late Uwe Gemballa launched his eponymous company as a tuner of Porsches, beginning with the 930-based Avalanche and Cyrrus in 1985. The firm was restructured in the 2010s following the founder’s passing, but it continues to be a powerhouse among the ateliers of bespoke, heavily-modified Porsches.

Through Glen-L, you can BYOB—build your own boat. Created by Glen L. Witt, the firm has been supplying plans to amateur boat builders since 1953, and offers over 300 designs today.

Kia began as a manufacturer of bicycles and then motorcycles, and finally introduced their first car in 1974. The firm made it Stateside in the ’90s and has improved its reputation through the decades with models like the Optima, Sportage, Soul, and Sorento. On a side note, two examples of the Vigato (a rebadged Lotus Elan) currently bookend the automaker’s results page.

Nimbus was a lesser-known Danish bike builder established by Hans Marius Nielsen and Peder Andersen Fisker, and was defunct by the 1950s. In its time, the firm was known for building a unique four-pot endurance moto dubbed the “Stovepipe” and the Type C, which was popularized by widespread use in the Danish services.

For the most part, no two cars from Sbarro were ever the same, given Franco Sbarro’s penchant for zany one-off creations. The Swiss-based firm did, however, get its start by building replicas of cars like the BMW 328, which were limited to 135 examples, give or take.

NEW MODEL PAGES

By the early 1970s, AM General was producing its own Jeep-like vehicles like the M15 military spec and CJ-5 based DJ postal trucks.

AM General also produced a plethora of heavy-duty military trucks, so anything that isn’t a Humvee, Hummer, or Jeep will usually live here.

The Victor Special was BSA’s road-going dual-sport bike, and was developed from the race spec Victor GP—a moto built to honor factory champ Jeff Smith’s 500cc Motocross World Championship.

This new page is reserved for Cadillac’s full-size flagship sedan, the CT6, and the spiritual successor to the CTS-V: the CT6-V.

The C2 Corvette page has now been broken apart into the following sub-pages:

Chevrolet Corvette C2 (1967)
Chevrolet Corvette C2 Race Car (C2 racers will be cross-posted to the appropriate second-generation pages, as well)
Chevrolet Corvette C2 Parts & Automobilia

The Corvette has come a long way since the aforementioned C2, and the C8-generation ZR1X is the wildest production version ever created under the nameplate. Featuring an electric motor up front and a twin-turbo V8 out back, the ZR1X produces a neck-snapping 1,250 horsepower—good for a sub-nine-second quarter-mile times.

We’ve established an overarching page for the GMT900 platform, which was produced from 2007 to 2014 and included everything from work trucks to bizarro hybrids.

The Pacifica nameplate first showed up on a luxury minivan concept in 1999, and then spent time as a CUV before eventually replacing the Town & Country minivan.

The Voyager moniker, once the domain of the now-defunct Plymouth, returned to Chrysler in 2020 as the entry-level variant of the Pacifica minivan.

The Cushman Truckster was introduced in 1952, and wore many hats over the years as a light-duty vehicle. It wasn’t retired until 2002.

We’ve created a page dedicated to Ford’s entry-level full-size models from the late ’50s and early ’60s—the Custom 300 and 500.

We’ve listed more Fusion-based NASCAR racers than we have of the regular production variety. Nonetheless, the latter are not unknown to the site, so now we have a Ford Fusion model page for the rental fleet survivors.

We recently created a page for the Ford Ranch Wagon in our model library.

The Harley-Davidson KR-750 dominated American flat track racing during the 1950s and ’60s before AMA rules rendered its flathead V-twin obsolete. The XR-750, introduced in 1970, was its replacement and quickly became an AMA champ itself. This new model page is reserved for both legendary race bikes.

We’ve listed a handful of the SV Project 8, the supercharged V8-powered variant of the Jaguar XE.

This page houses both the pre- and post-war Lagonda 3-Litre variants.

We’ve broken out the Lexus LS into the following sub-pages:

Maserati brought their 1939 and 1940 wins at Indianapolis 30 years later by co-opting the Indy name for their new Vignale-designed four-seat GT—the first car produced by Maser following Citröen’s acquisition of the marque.

McLaren replaced the 570S with the Artura, which featured a new hybrid system pushing over 670 equine units.

We’ve split apart the CLK-Class page into the following:

The existing C209 CLK63 AMG Black Series page will live under this new overarching page.

The Mercury Montclair was the automaker’s most expensive and luxurious model when introduced; the nameplate was used over two stints, from 1955 to 1960 and from 1964 to 1968.

The Galant, introduced as the Colt Galant, survived nine generations and ended up as a full-size sedan.

The Nissan Altima name has had quite the journey since the early 1990s—from a rebadged Bluebird SSS to the automaker’s cornerstone mid-size offering, and VQ-powered vessels in between.

Nissan introduced the President as their flagship full-size offering to compete with the likes of the Toyota Century from 1965 to 2010.

Horacio Pagani’s Huayra—named after the Quechua wind god—got a 6.0L twin-turbocharged AMG V12, gullwing doors, and a whole lot of chutzpah.

The Polaris RZR (pronounced Razor) was originally a performance fun-haver, but quickly made a name for itself as a work machine.

We’ve created new pages for Porsche 964, 993, 996, 997, 991, and 992 911 parts and automobilia in order to separate wheels, seats, and such from the important market data for these models.

Fun fact: the Rimac Nevera isn’t the only car in this installment capable of a blistering sub-two-second zero-to-60 run (see Pagani Huayara, above).

The GR86 is the second-generation model of the Toyota 86 and its sibling, the Subaru FR-S, and was launched in the early 2020s with more power.

By user request, we’ve made a page for the Type 4—also known as the 411 and 412, which was VW’s larger family car built on the Beetle platform.
