Today's Roadster Orphan

This is the perfect compliment to the Tag car. I’m officially jealous!
Ha, thanks! The R80 plus all the CF upgrades were too good to pass up. I'm familiar with the dispute that caused the car to be salvaged and it should never have affected the price, but it did.

If you or anyone is in the market for a Roadster, this is the best deal in the world right now.

I saw that car in person and it is pristine, with a single, meticulous owner. It's VIN 106, too.
 
Yeah I lost out fellas in the bid. Paying off later mother's mortgage so I coudn't go over DeedWest lower estimated number he provided to me. That car is gorgeous. I don't have deep pockets. And I feel like back in high school when you lost a girlfriend.
snapster threw out all kinds of accusations of collusion... just people bidding, very silly.
Good thing there is always another girlfriend around the corner!

I bid up to 80k on this one. $130k is a really good deal- congrats @josh-io

If it were clean title, I'm sure someone would have bid into the $200k range....

Speaking of Roadsters, is anyone else going on the Bay Area drive this coming Sunday the 6th?
I bid up to 90k and got within 20 seconds of being final. When I got out of the dead spot driving to pick up son from school, I saw I was out bid. I was driving...and stated to myself it's going north from here, out of my range, not my day not going into debt. Still have 5k onS until next week :)

It is also important to note that Sig 24 was totaled, then purchased and imported to Europe where it was rebuilt. This explains why the Signature 100 badges are missing from the rear quarter panels.

Interesting. In the advertisement there is a seller's statement ("Selgers egenerklæring") that the car has not had a major collision damage ("Bilen har hatt en større kollisjonsskade: Nei").

I can confirm my research is similar to DeedWest’s.
Carfax is clean, indicating correctly that the car has not been totalled in the US prior to it leaving.

The gist of the statement above is confirmed by a very reliable source, there was an incident.
