If nothing else, there’s a ton of incredible pictures for you to pleasure yourself to drool over. This car is stunning.

Will you take the two thirds one I have on the left side? Is that enough to reserve alternate saturdays?

If it’s height you’re worried about, there’s actually some discussion in the comments about a 6'2" guy who apparently raced one.

$310,000 with 6 days left... BAT is about to make a killing.

Depends - have you gotten quotes on what it’s worth yet?

The opening bid of $100k actually hit the cap on BaT’s fee, I believe. Commentariat has the car pegged at half a million.

I’m tall but I can fit myself surprisingly well in cramped places. So far Lotus Europa (old version) is the only car that I couldn’t fit in.

Yeah but I think the black market for kidneys moves much quicker I think

This car would be a tight squeeze, at best, I’m sure—

I’m gonna try that, thanks. And add something about an after market exhaust.

Be sure to be witty about it and discuss how awesome it was when it ran!

I forgot they had a limit. Dang... I just learned yesterday that the T87 sitting in the lane is worth a quarter million probably. I thought those were cool and rare but holy crap.

Crap - how much is a complete kidney, relatively high mileage but well maintained?
I was hoping for a couple more zeros...

Well, TBH, I think we’re all gonna be limited to downloading pictures from the listing anyways, which is free!

I’ll work on it, but it won’t be as good as banging turkeys or anything.

Yeah, I would have though having the complete service history would be worth something. Go figure.

No lowballers - I know what I have!
I’d also describe the missing part as a ‘weight reduction mod’.

There are some wallpaper-worthy shots of that car on there - - they did a really nice job on the photo shoot, even by BaT standards.

Anything rare and desirable like that can command big $. I’m surprised the Tatra is a quarter million, maybe, but I would have guessed 6 figures (?).

That was a really creepy ad. On many levels.

It seems the first time Markku Alén tried the Stratos they had to chop off the top of his helmet. Maybe that’s the reason why he used to compete with the 131?
Röhrl is another lanky guy who also drove a Stratos a couple of times. Before it actually happened I remember reading about other people in the business saying “surely he wouldn’t fit”.

So glad I’m only 5'9" - this car probably fits me perfectly!
