one thing about bat- many of the cars are prestine

of course some are projects, but when looking at an sl for example- the experts chime in and know every detail there is to know. on the model As, the "experts" are quite a bit less expert on bat. just alot of opinions and nostalgic memories- both of which dont educate the buyer. The big money seems to go to the rarer sports cars and 350GTs and c2 vettes etc.

again on ebay, the snipe services allow you a way to get out in the last minutes, wo being locked in by ebay. I have never won on BAT, though Ive come close on a TR6. An all original car with very low miles, that was nearby. I am understanding more and more why the prices on bat often go high. A car that is prestine is often hard to find.
on the other side, Ive bought some great deals on ebay, on projects. Cars wo titles or willing to take a chance on condition. Ive done quite well.

I randomly got some more photos from the seller yesterday. I wish they had been available during the auction as they're a lot better than the ones used. I thought you all might be interested in seeing them...

The reversed hood louvers still cracks me up. I mean, it's a pretty easy fix – you just detach the bottom hood sections and swap sides. But someone had to make that decision in the first place. Either "I think it looks right this way" or "Whoops, it's backwards... guess I'll just leave it." Both of which are funny.

I didn't even notice that!

Based on my conversations with the seller, what I gathered is that he got the car from an estate and it was in mostly pieces and parts. He assembled what he could and then eBayed it.
