    I am excited to see this 8 at 25k. It is a very nice example, and is bringing more than I expected. Shows what I know.

    here in Europe , you have for that price hardly a "running" 8 … sure a manual. I think it's worth here 30k euros ,if well maintained and everything is working ! In that understanding it's a '91.... that means it's just a legal "oldtimer" and can be licensed almost without taxes… (crazy taxes if younger and no "oldtimer" ) ….
    That's of course why i bought also a '91 , it stays a hobby car , not a daily .
    For a younger one ( not oldtimer) you may count on 15k taxes before your first mile in it !!!!

    That’s exactly my thinking too Barry and that’s also why I got 2, plus no one counting my miles either.

    In Germany and Holland, the E31 prices have skyrocketed. I also see a lot of rust-free cars being imported to from California to those two countries.

    Great car and great auction! Love seeing that kind of bids on a beatuiful six speed. Now I just gotta find one before they become unobtainable for me. My first 8 was a daily driven 6 and I’ve been trying to shift that auto knob ever since, just doesn’t feel right without it.

    $30,799? I would have lost that bet. That's a great number, but of course it is a great example of an 8. I think all of the work that Alec has put into his movies, and the release of the new 8 has generated new interest into the classic 8 series. Alec you have done a great service to all the current owners of an 8, and the model itself. Outstanding.

    Thanks a lot my Friend. My pleasure and my privilege to do so. Nothing but love and fun all the way. I have lots more to come. LOTS MORE.

    We are very pleased with the results, but even more pleased to know that two bidders were not able to bid due to a clock glitch and the car was going to go up to $35000 plus fees which would've put the sale prices at around $38K. I got this confirmed by a phone conversation with a REAL bidder who said he did in fact put $32000 and was ready to to go up to $35, but his confirmation did not come through. He was heartbroken.
    I'm meeting him this weekend to find him another car hopefully. He's a great guy.

    Once again, thanks everyone for all the love and support.
