Davemk1 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I saw that yesterday.......nice looking car. The one thing I wonder about is where the battery is? Normally they are above the passenger footwell. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 According to one of the bullet points in the listing "Battery is cleverly mounted under the air cleaner on the frame." I have a PC680 mounted in a similar position on my Westfield -- although I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it cleverly mounted -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soareyes Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Dang, if it goes for $18,000 someone is getting an incredible deal! I wonder what ecu it uses, and if the owner is a member of this site. I haven't seen the car at any of our California get-togethers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 "Dang, if it goes for $18,000 someone is getting an incredible deal!" - I agree Stan. A lot of good stuff on that car! Bruce :7drive: PS: I asked him what ECU he's using... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim F. Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 John Coombs is the owner and a registrant on the CCC. Perhaps you can track him down and pose your questions directly to him. He has apparently just relocated to Mariposa, CA from Culver City. I don't know him, but what I know about Birkins I think that's one hell of a deal. The motor and drivetrain alone are approaching the current price of the car. I came pretty close to buying a Birkin from Woody Harris in Vacaville before I settled on my DeDion Zetec Roadsport. Woody took me out for a demo drive at 135 mph over the twisties in the country around Vacaville. I don't have to say more. Best of luck to some fortunate new owner!

Jim F. Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I stand corrected, Gert! I had John's blue car confused with the yellow Zetec Birkin from another auction site on eBay. Sorry for the misinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Somebody's going to get a great deal on this... 20 grand for a Birkin with 800 miles (and California registered). One day left:willy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 17 hours is a loooong time to ratchet up the bids. Usually the action takes place in the last 15 minutes...I will watch it in the lunch break. Gert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Coombs Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi Guys Yes my car is the Blue one and I have no idea who the owner of the yellow car is although he seems to be located very near to my home. By the way I moved up here from Arcadia not Culver City. I have not listed my car on ebay as they never seem to reach a true market price. I hope the owner has a reserve as at the moment it's a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soareyes Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 No reserve, so it will sell. Looks like there are a few persistent bidders so it should go higher. Good luck if anyone here is bidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitcat Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Jeez Bob, you waited 3 seconds from when it ended to up date us, what took so long:)? Wonderful car/price. About what I spent for my much older/slower Caterham last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you that that April the 15th had anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you that that April the 15th had anything to do with it? I am 98% sure Bill purchase a used Stalker on the Friday before he listed his very nice Birkin on Ebay. The guy that sold the Stalker indicated that Bill also had a very nice Birkin and lived fairly close by Oakland, CA. The Birkin sellers name was Bill, had a nice yellow Birkin and lived in CA within close driving distance to Oakland. Too many coincidences. He had been looking at Stalkers for a long time. I do not think he was on this list but had talked to a lot of Stalker owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
