Bring a Trailer Daily Mail




 

 

If you've spent any time on BaT you know that we have always wanted an Alfa Romeo step-nose GT, but have never owned one. Our patient search in the USA hasn't yielded anything, but after hours of searching internationally we have finally found one in Europe. The car is in the Netherlands, and instead of just ship it home to the USA, we have decided to go pick it up ourselves and log some miles on European roads, and possibly tracks. We are writing this post from the Netherlands, where we have just picked up the car. Just to make things totally absurd, we have decided to also try to hit three race tracks in three countries during our visit here. The first was Goodwood, where we just visited the Revival for the last two days. Our first update installment is here on here on AutoWeek.com and and an additional story will be in an upcoming AutoWeek magazine.

 

We'll be posting daily updates to the AutoWeek site, which you can also follow via their daily email, one of the few car email feeds that we find really excellent, especially for their focus on motorsport. They have generously sponsored some of the travel to help make this adventure pencil, for which we are greatly appreciative.

 

Below is a short video of the car on our first drive after picking it up. There is much more to come over the next 10 days as this story unfolds! Wish us luck!

This 1948 Allard M1 Drophead Coupe offers very interesting styling and access to Allard ownership for much less cash than some might think. These Ford V-8-powered cars, with their full bodywork and seating for four, were fairly popular for the small English carmaker, with some 500 being built over a four-year run. Find this one here at Gullwing Motor Cars in Astoria, New York for $49.5k.

This just in from the seller of the BaT Exclusive Ford roadster that he listed earlier this month (link):

"BaT,
I'm sad to let go of this great car...

I asked the driver to take my picture before I drove it onto the lift.

Nice to see that the comments were very positive overall (with one or two exceptions).

Thanks for the great job getting this car sold so fast!

Regards,
Mark M.

Ventura, California"

 

Thanks Mark! (He also just listed the low-mile Alfa Spider  that just sold on BaT on one day! Pretty good week for him so far!)
