That E-type is almost enough to get me back into cars -- I wonder what it will sell for, $30k? I can buy an airplane for that much!

I'm not sure whether basket cases or trailer queens were the original inspiration for the name.

This says "Bring A Trailer" to me: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1982-mercedes-benz-500sec-5/ The seller states that the car cannot pass a California emissions test, therefore it cannot be sold to an in-state private party buyer. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1954-jaguar-xk120-4/ https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-jaguar-xke-roadster-56/ https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-porsche-911-22/ https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-porsche-912-coupe-27-2/ ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Sad W108 on BAT
That's what I thought when I first heard of the site. That or it's restored classic cars that are so nice that you wouldn't drive them, only trailer them. In the case of BaT it's neither.

Re: [MBZ] Sad W108 on BAT
But, doesn't "bring a trailer" suggest that it is a site that deals in project cars that likely need to be hauled home on a trailer? They may have strayed from that to a site that primarily deals in high dollar classic cars, but personally, I would rather see cars like this than near perfect expensive garage queens.

BaT is a corporate money machine now with no regard for the content. They just want to move the dollars.
