1958 BMW Isetta 600 Deluxe Sunroof Coupe
No surprise the $1000 reserve hasn’t been tripped yet. Also a factor is that it’s in Canada on eBay.
Enthusiast Auto, a Shipload of BMWs
Over the weekend, I went to Ohio to visit my friend Roy. Porsche enthusiast. Car obsessed. Part inundated. We typically see each other every year around this time when he visits me for the Detroit Auto Show. But as you … Continued
Restoration Wednesday on a Friday, Who Writes this Blog?!
Over the years, I’ve picked up a lot of 914 seats. Seems nobody wants them. I drove to Ohio to get some 951 phone dial wheels and the guy unloaded half his garage on me. Want this box of misc. … Continued

Four 914s, Three Hour Drive, Two BMWs and a Partridge Sitting Next to Audis
On Monday I went and visited Nick in Benzie County – about 3.5 hours north of Ann Arbor. He owns the four Porsche 914s I posted a couple weeks ago. For $7,500 it was a deal I had to check out. … Continued
