    haven't checked the whole thread, but found traces of #121 in Germany - came from Danmark but ended up with a front-damage and been ripped for parts. It was glacier blue...

    What are going to bid on? There doesn't appear to be anything that you can salvage!

    Wheels might be fine - I don't see how so much rubber survived with tread intact.
    Frame might be fine (I am certainly no expert on how well an aluminum frame might survive a total fire)
    The "Estimated Retail Value" of $73,893 is freakin' hilarious!
    It has to be worth less than $20,000 ... a lot less.

    It is/was a USA Roadster. Someone must have exported the wreck to Europe to attempt repairs.

    Sad to see Roadsters still being in a repairable condition to be ripped for parts.

    I think the rubber that survived was the portion that was in contact with the ground during the fire, the portion that wasn't is obviously gone.
