    “Back In 1971 fresh out of high school and still 17 worked with my uncle at a local auto repair garage. My job lowest of lowest was the under the car stuff. In came one of these with a transmission leak. My job clean of all the dirt and grime from years of driving so the mechanics could find the leak. Upon getting the OK was told to go clean up and put on a clean set of coveralls. Upon returning was given the keys and told to drive to a nearby by town and back. My jaw dropped to the ground. 17…”

    “The Superleggera V4 was capped at 500 units worldwide for 2020 and remains the first street-legal motorcycle with a carbon fiber frame, subframe, swingarm and wheels as standard — Ducati had to get specific homologation approval for the structural carbon!!!!! What a Bike!!!!”

    “So they built 50 of these, and now three have been offered on BaT. That says a lot about the stature that @BaT has achieved in the collector car world.”

    “These cars are just great. I bought a 2024 manual on a whim last year and have zero regrets. They do it all so well. My fair weather daily drivers last summer were this Golf, a 2018 GT3 Touring, and my venerable 993. For regular use, the Golf is ~80% of the fun of the GT3 for 20% of the money. Sold the GT3 shortly thereafter just because I prefer the Golf. Will never sell the 993, though.”

    “My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. My first job out of college was working for TDM in Livonia MI which later became Wheel to Wheel a prototype shop for GM’s Jon Moss. We built a 383 6spd SS with a rollcage for GM Special Vehicles to do high speed testing at MIS. I don’t think this is that car but always wondered what happened to it and many others. Great first engineering job for a young gear head.”

    “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…”

    “Here is some history on the Grand Prix of America race car
    This car originates from Grand Prix of America (GPA), an ambitious early 1970s motorsports venture conceived and executed by the DeLorean brothers in Troy, Michigan. Developed in Detroit with race engineering intent, GPA sought to deliver an authentic Grand Prix style driving experience to the public through purpose built single seaters and permanent road courses—establishing a direct lineage to later attractions such as Malibu…”

    “In my dad’s early car-guy days he had six MGBs in a row. He would tinker with each then move them along to fund the next project. Then later in (my) early car-guy days we heard of a 1980 Limited Edition barnfind that was available nearby. It was the only iteration of the MGB that my dad had yet to own. Once we brought it home, I learned some things on it like how to bleed the brakes and clutch, make minor metal repairs, detailing tips/tricks, and most importantly how to drive a manual…”

    “Was fortunate enough to see the first Spyker offering I think in 2001 at the Geneva auto show, while visiting my brother in Suisse. The aeronautical touches including the gear shift were amazing. This is an awesome opportunity for some lucky future custodian”

    “I am 79 years old, bought a 76 GL new, same color and wheels as this car. I have had all the German cars, but the SAAB is the car that I remember fondly for having all the positives of those cars all in one vehicle.”

    “Very sharp and very clean Calypso Green/grey cloth notch. And the cherry on top among the tasteful, period correct mods is the GT-40 intake. This Fox is going to sell itself!”
