Why is this one not selling for so long? Apart from the wing, that is. Seems reasonably priced.

It shows as sold here: http://www.waterfordhills.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7462

Sold last June.

$2K in sales tax down the drain....

Gotcha. I'm strangely attracted to the dull one. Even though I have no idea about A-15 Datsun engines.

Description says: "ONE OF APPROX 60 'ROTUS' SEVENS MADE. ROTARY ENGINE. Factory Built by Rotus. Super rare vehicle that looks and drives amazing." I won't pretend I would know the difference between a Birkin and a Rotus by looking at the car, but it seems the seller is indeed convinced he has a Rotus on his hands.

The seller says it's a Rotus.

Toyota-powered ones (with 4A-GE or 3T-C) seem to be going for around $11-12K (based on not much data though, mainly BaT auctions). Do BMW-2002-powered ones carry a premium?

This one is close to where I live. What does the board think about the price? A bit optimistic, no?

Would be interesting to see comments on this one. It's been for sale for quite a while (several month at least) so it's probably not priced properly. Also, I'm not a big expert on carburetors, but doesn't it look from the pictures that there are no air filtering elements on the intake?
