Sold for $2770. I'd not have been surprised to see $3k, but at least a modicum of sense prevailed. Even if the auction was extended 40-odd times. "Sorry vehicle is stored off site so unable to confirm if Sunroof" kinda sums up just how much effort and interest Turners have in the cars they sell.

Wish I had a use for it!

It'll sell for well into 4 figures. One day they won't and then this becomes the way forward.

Saw a set of throwing stars with a $7k asking price earlier. Yup - I'd want a car with them, too! A good one.

Mr Beacham, owner of Beachams, had restoration work done by... Beachams, to increase the 'value' of a car from $10k to $100k. It could be argued that there is $90k worth of work there, somewhere. Did Mr Beacham reach into his own pocket and transfer funds to his company to pay for the work done? If not, then the company absolutely had a part to play in this.

Is that a euphemism for "despite being older and more used, the price has gone up" ?

I've never found him quite so enthralling. Doubtless a great driver, but seemed (despite some racing success) to be more about showmanship than anything else, but I was raised on a diet of British and Scandinavian, and other European rally drivers. Americans seemed to worship him. Reportedly an all-round nice bloke. Just finished helping his daughter build an Audi Quattro. (In my opinion, experience, etc.)

Milady wife's Lexus RX, and Miss M's F20 116i use the same engine oil. Winning!

What's a 325i Touring worth now? A friend has one for sale but it is overseas... RHD, ~165000km (indicated - we all know about E30 odometers), good condition all round, 15" BBS rims, lots and lots of history. My earlier thoughts re E46 M3s for a daily aren't likely to happen given they are (justifiably) expensive. But an E30 Touring would work, and might not cost quite so much.

Could be... I didn't see any part numbers on them to help confirm suitability.

Any good? Need a clean but they've been stored in a container for quite some time.

At Days Bay Pavilion, near Wainuiomata.

There was an E46 M3 'vert for sale recently at $24k. (IIRC.) Seller did acknowledge that it was likely the cheapest M3 available.

🤔 I wonder if I can pick up a ratty E46 M3 for a daily...

Got a snazzy bottle opener for to-be-built mancave, and a limited edition book about the Ford GT40.
