Here’s baT Auction Success Story: WoodrowWilson Surprises Himself with a C6

The Honda Z50 represents more than just a mini-bike to BaT user IndieRockBassPlayer, who won this 1968 Z50A Mini Trail from AJDiMizio in a July 2025 BaT auction. He wrote to tell us more about it:
Years ago, my mother—tired of the brutal Wisconsin winters—moved my family from Madison, Wisconsin, to San Diego, California. I was only 13 at the time. Ten years earlier, she had relocated to the Midwest in 1967 with three kids in tow to be closer to family after the untimely death of my father, who was a naval aviator. I was only three years old then. The 10 years I lived in Madison will always represent a magical time in my life, filled with special memories of the never-ending drowsy summer skies. Time stood still for every child, and none of us had a care in the world, never realizing that each of those days was a gift and that real life (and all its challenges) was only right around the corner.

Today’s Success Story, from BaT user kwaz023, concerns the 1965 Triumph TR4 that he won from BaT-MaN in a December 2025 BaT auction:
Much like purchasing our house over a decade ago, there were a lot of swings and misses as it related to my BaT experience. There were a handful of cars that I bid on; however, I always seemed to be outbid at the last minute. The only advice I could provide to those in a similar situation is: “persevere.”

This Success Story comes to us from mak62, who won a 1979 BMW 320i from kcm125 in a September 2025 BaT auction:
I’m thrilled to share my remarkable experience with you all. One evening, while browsing BaT, I stumbled upon a familiar face—this 1979 BMW 320i that I previously owned, but had sold off over three years ago. I first attempted to win this BMW back in March 2020, but it didn’t work out. However, after a few months I was introduced to the owner, and I eventually bought the car.

BaT user adsinger secured a 1981 Honda Motocompo and a battery-powered Honda Motocompacto, both of which he won from Premierautofl in an April 2025 combo BaT auction.
He writes:
Despite an obsession with Spanish Bultaco motorcycles, I have long held a soft spot for the wacky Honda Motocompo trunk scooter. They are relatively rare, especially here in the Sunshine State.

Following an unfortunate fire with his previous Ferrari, allthecars is back in another 308 GTB courtesy of BaT. He won his new example from Murphy258 in a September 2025 BaT auction, and wrote in to tell us about it:
It was November 2024. I was driving on Mulholland Highway through Malibu on a lovely, sunny Sunday morning when my black 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB caught fire. After six years of ownership, numerous drives to Monterey for Car Week, and roughly 40,000 miles, my first Ferrari was reduced to charcoal.
