    E31 850CI CABRIOLET: I never knew??

    Check this puppy out: click here

    Info from eBaymotors ad (for when the link no longer works ;)):

    IN 1990 BMW BUILT 3 CONVERTIBLES 850I'S AS PROTOTYPES, IT WAS CALLED THE "E31 850CI CABRIOLET" BUT THEY NEVER PRODUCED, IF ONE OF THE PROTOTYPES WERE TO BE OFFER FOR SALE NOW, THE PRICE WOULD BE AT LEAST $700K USD AND MORE, MY BMW IS A REPRODUCTION OF ONE OF THEM, PROFESSIONALLY CUSTOM MADE CONVERTIBLE BY ENFORCING THE CHASSIS, THE TOP IS A POWER TOP, NO LEAKS, THIS CAR IS TRULY AMOUNG THE BEST EXOTIC LOOKING CARS IN THE WORLD, I HAVE PARKED THIS CAR ON RODEO DR. NEXT TO 200K+ CARS LIKE FERRARIS', LAMBOS', ETC. BUT PEOPLE GATHER AROUND THIS BMW ROADSTER AND TAKE PICTURES WITH IT ETC.... TRULY AN EYE CATCHER IS A BEAUTIFUL EXOTIC AND UNIQUE CAR. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND $200K OR MORE, A SMART BUY DRIVE A UNIQUE CAR NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, PLUS THE NEW $250K+ CARS WILL DEPRECIATE IN VALUE THIS CAR WILL NOT.

    My name is Fuad C'amanero, I am a Film Producer and Business Entrepreneur, as a hobby I like to buy "one of a kind exotic cars", and when I want to change exotic cars I take them to well know car Auctions like RM, Russo and Steel, Barette and Jackson, were they Buy and Sell Exotic and Collector Cars, wealthy people get into a bidding war to acquire the new exotic car(s) that they want to take home to ad to their collection and end up paying top dollar for them.
    Now I need to sell all my cars, because I need the money "now" to invest in a project, so I am willing to sell them for much less than what they can bring at the auctions, unfortunately the opportunity of the project cannot wait until the auctions date which is a few months away.
    This is a custom made 850i Convertible with a power top, original Alpina body and interior, this BMW is one of the most beautiful Cars in the world.

    Some additional interesting info:

    A year after BMW stunned the crowds at the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow with the 850 Ci coupe, work was started on a convertible version. Three prototype examples were constructed, fitted with the same 300 bhp V12 engine that powered the coupe. Unfortunately BMW were not convinced there would be enough customers interested in open top 8-series and cancelled the program.

    Today all three prototypes still exist and are still property of BMW. One of them is pictured here at the 2003 Techno Classica where eighty years of BMW convertibles was celebrated.

    *If you read above it sounds like this eBay ad is a fraud. The seller has no feedback, horrible pictures, bad formatting of text, BMW still owns all prototypes and his name even sounds like fraud!

    Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

        wow, ebay member since 2001 and NO feedback, buying or selling? Plus, he dosn't take Paypal? I would never even think of buying a high ticket item like this with a MO, total scam.

            I'm no E31 guru, but I say it's an 8er that's been to Vinnie's Kustom shop once or twice.

            I call fake.

              I think that's Gary Sheffield's old car, it pops up on ebay fairly frequently. It's a chop job.

                    Its not to his credit to list a bunch of other replica cars in the same auction.

                      Anyone notice that he claims to have 'replicas' of 2 cars that don't even exist?

                      "Rolls Royce 2010 Drophead"
                      "Bentley 2009 Arnaz Limo"

                      He must also have a time machine in that garage!!

                            The whole backyard scene and pictures in general just throws me off. I get the vibe that this dude had it on-lock in the late 90's/early 2000's (Enron/Worldcom?) and shit hit the fan eventually. Now he needs monies for "projects." Seems sketch.

                              Yeah it has to be one of the worst ads I've ever seen on eBay. I can't believe people have been bidding on it.

                              Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.
