Bring a Trailer Daily Mail




This 1959 Peugeot 403 cabrio (chassis 2185714) looks fantastic after an extensive and apparently very high quality restoration documented by more than 500 photos. These convertible versions are extremely scarce relative to their closed-top counterparts, with a total production numbering in the low four figures as opposed to more than a million sedans. A short, three year production run and an 80% price hike over the base four door cars made these cabrios scarce. Find this example here on eBay in Miami, Florida. Special thanks to reader Josef L. for the submission!

This 1990 BMW M3 is said to be all-original and rust-free with 84,000 miles from new. Sterling silver over gray leather is an unusual tone-on-tone combination, and overall the car shows extremely well with only very minor cosmetic wear. The past two years are said to have seen nearly $4,000 in documented maintenance by BMW specialists using OEM parts, and the car is said to drive, brake, shift, and handle just as it was designed to. This car is in very similar shape to the one we bought in July, and ours gas had more 'will you sell it' remarks than any car we have owned in some time. Find this one here on Craigslist in Newport Beach, California for $39k?less than we've seen dealers ask for similarly nice examples lately.

This 1976 Alpine A110 (chassis 8216) comes with no extraordinary claims of competition history or factory originality, but rather is presented as a great looking, nicely sorted, and thoroughly clean looking example that's ready to be driven and enjoyed. Dieppe-built Alpines like this car are more desirable than their Spanish and Mexican built counterparts, and there are many indications that description fits this car well. Finding these with the right colors, flares, lighting, and documentation is difficult, and this one looks to check all the boxesl. Find it here at Targa Florio Classics in Bristol, England for 54,950 GBP (~$90,459 today).

This 1963 Elva Courier (Chassis E1007) is said to have received an extensive restoration, and comes with a modified 1800cc Trojan engine, while sitting on an Mk2 chassis. This example is an early 'hybrid' Courier "inback" style coupe, which shows an interesting drop-off in the roofline behind the cabin. Although it has been thoroughly prepped for the track, the seller indicates it can be made street legal again by reconnecting the lights and signals. Find this one here on eBay in Caledon East, Ontario, Canada.

This 1950 Tatra T600 (chassis 180579) was donated to the American Cancer Society and is being offered at a CoPart auction this Friday in Boston, Massachusetts. The body panels look intact and show some bare metal and some dark green paint that matches the wheels. The engine is on a pallet in the mud and the car doesn't look particularly suited to the winter weather. Even so, this is better than many Tatra projects that we have seen. Find the info here via the Car Donation Wizard website.

This 1950 Ford Country Squire station wagon (chassis BOSR102928) is described as a solid example with redone wood, paint, interior and chrome. It is said to run and drive great, and we like that it retains its original flathead and has overdrive. These Fords were among the last true woodie wagons and were beginning to lose the sales fight to all-metal competitors from other makers, but they will always have the advantage when it comes to vintage style. Find this one here on eBay in Oceanside, California with a $29k starting bid and no additional reserve.
