Bring A Trailer Watch Thread

Joe-BMW33 · 05-09-2024, 08:08 AM

I started a thread like this on an E39 forum years ago that was well received, contributed to regularly and fun. I'm not sure how many of you peruse BaT, but I do daily and love watching auctions for cars old, new, rare, restored, etc. BaT was actually founded by two BMW enthusiasts. You will always see plenty of BMW inventory there, but overall some pretty cool cars to follow and see what they go for. I bought my E39 off BaT.

If you are a BaT follower (or become one), use this space to post some links to cool cars. The presentation of the auctions are clean and quick to get through.

I'll kick it off. This car just listed is my friggin dream car outside, inside, under hood, options and 7-speeds to manually go through. This will probably touch $400,000.

There's sure a lot of Ford switchgear in there. The leather on the bolster sure looks like a lot more than 51xxx miles. I sure typed a lot, a lot

ford owned jaguar from 99-08 which actually make them pretty appealing to me. parts and maintenance are a lot cheaper with ford parts.

i watch them all just to see what kind of price range they sell for. i don’t have any particular interest in that one but agreed that driver’s seat is rough.

They were part of PAG, Ford's Premier Auto Group... Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo & Mercury. Why Mercury was included is beyond me. I got to visit their headquarters back in the day. Each marque got their own floor and unique decor. It was pretty cool. Sadly, the building is now housing Taco Bell. Ford's buying spree cost them cost them severely.

Saw a youtube where the dude peeled off the A.M. logo on the key fob and there was the Ford logo underneath! Saw another guy do that with a Volvo.

I’m always amazed at how much money these go for.

A few years back, I had one pass me doing easily over 150 mph on my way down to Cape Cod.

They say no reserve fetches more money.

That’s beautiful. Love the M6 E24.
