This is no offense to Bill, but I'd like to understand the statements about only one of 3 in the US and the 4000ish mile mileage.

I thought from Bills writeup that he had like 4000 miles on the restoration, if so the new seller is gilding the lilly a lot.

Actually the mileage is under 1000 since restoration. But all said, pretty good price someone is getting for a Harrington, wouldn't you say?

a lot of money for a Sunbeam (even considering it´s a Harrington) though. Seems to become an investors item now...

I have to say i find it hard to fathom that the car has climbed so high in the bidding and not hit reserve from a dealer.. seemd the usual dealer trick of shill bidding the price up to generate interest.

Bill had the car on ebay and couldnt break the 60K mark IIRC.. and in theory the economy has not got an better since.. so why would the same audience suddenly show all this interest?

I wonder how much they are actually looking for the car?.. as has been suggested many times.. they set a high reserve .. do lots of bidding then contact the legitimate bidders and try and sell off auction.. any serious buyer would have been better off buying it from Bill in the first place :rolleyes: oh well

Bob, in NY area. I've been contacted too of that guy. Write you an email about that. There are two known Series D on Alpine IV base in US + the Harrington Tiger. No Series C as far as we know. Only Le Mans were imported/sold by agencys, rest were private/special order imports.
