I have seen Lamar's car. It is a stunning example of a Calypsorot red car with upgraded leather interior. Plus - its a 6-speed. This will make someone a very nice car. Lamar does not want to sell, but a job relocation overseas dictates. Good Luck with Sale!

This vehicle is back up for sale, but is now located in Deutschland. PM me if interested.
I would like to point out that if there is anyone located in the US that is interested, I am willing to cover the cost of return shipping (the car still has a clear Florida title). There are also several operational/functional videos of the car that I can share to prospective buyers.

Wow. Love what's been done to this E31. Would you mind if I painted it Aegean Blue?

Thank you for the complements. I actually had to look up Aegean Blue, as I wasn't familiar with the color. I have to say it would make a pretty good combination with the current interior color.
You are very welcome! You've got an amazing checklist of items taken care of on your car, and then add the tasteful cosmetic modifications, wow what a package.
BTW here is my inspiration for the color change; this Aegean over Modena car was for sale in NL a few years ago:
I like it!!!
That first picture is actually the background on my iPad. I use it as inspiration to finish my Calypsorot.

^Thanks, I am truly flattered, and definitely get your Calypsorot finished, it has been one of the best and most rewarding experiences of my wrenching life. It feels like conquering a titan.
For any interested on this forum, I am willing to take a good chunk off of the asking price AND cover shipping directly to you. I really need to free up space in my garage, as garage real estate is at a premium overseas, and I need to make space for another vehicle. PM for more information.
I am willing to accept reasonable offers for the car, as I will be taking delivery of its replacement early next year and really need the garage space.
