Driveable: 1954 Kaiser Darrin Project
This 1954 Kaiser Darrin (Chassis 3495321) is a complete and driving project. Mostly in need of cosmetic restoration, this functional example has a design almost too quirky to be found on a production car. Find it here on eBay in Houston, Texas with no reserve beyond an unmet $76k starting bid. Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.
BaT Auction Success Story: MGA Notes from Buyer and Seller
From buyer:
“BaT Folks,
After a long wait (winters are pretty tough in the part of Wisconsin that it came from), I have taken delivery of the 1959 MGA I purchased in your December 3rd auction (link). Wow! She is just beautiful, even better than represented by the seller. Condition is pristine; the seller rated it a “2” but I think he was conservative. And she drives beautifully, tight steering, excellent gearbox and better than expected brakes. I am a happy buyer.
Most sellers on BaT seem to be honest and transparent, and, Tim, the MGA seller has to be as good a seller as there could be. He was communicative on the auction site and we had an active email and phone dialogue going. He put me in touch with the mechanic who had done a lot of work on the MGA. He also helped to get the car shipped at about one third the cost of the large commercial shippers in a covered trailer by that same mechanic who was headed for Sebring.
1966 Austin A40 Farina Rally Car
This 1966 Austin A40 Farina is presently set up for running historic rallies, a task this small rear driver should be well suited to. Now running a larger Morris Marina engine and other competition oriented modifications, this truncated coupe could prove a viable competitor. Find it here on eBay in Warwick, Warwickshire, England for 14k GBP (~$21,400 USD today) OBO.
Senna Tribute: 1987 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16
This 1987 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16 (VIN WDBDA34D4HF356682) is thoroughly documented by a seller who seems knowledgeable and forthright about even the smallest issues. The Senna racer vinyl is removable if it isn’t your thing, and modifications are generally pretty mild and very tasteful. Find it here on eBay in Orange, Connecticut with reserve not met.
