Any Good Known Exotics And Collectibles In Sl?

[Rukster]

Hi Folks

Anyone knows the number of exotics and the few collectibles around?

Cheers

[Devinda_Z]

machan thats a rather broad list - all down to definition of what an individual would deem "collectible"

its far too extensive to list and even then doubt what ever list complied would be exhaustive

we could help in terms of saving yes or no to what may or may not be in SL if you put down the names of stuff that you would want to know about

And I'm guessing the Classic Car Owners club would be the first place to start.

I have seen three E36 coupes and two convertibles. Not sure if I have missed any.

Coupes— all three are black—318i, 325i and 323i. The 325i was recently rebuilt from what it was and looks smashing!

Convertibles—One blue and the other a Techno Violet if not mistaken—Both very well maintained

I saw a blue 1970s BMW 2002 with 8 sri registration around nugegoda last week. Now wouldnt that make a true classic. Wonder how much one could acquire one

That car is actually a E9 3.0 CSL.. the Famed "batmobile"

There's also a beautiful gold 635 (or was it a 633) with a M-body kit. Its one of the biggest collections in SL sitting hidden away... Said to be mechanically sound; though hasnt been taken out in a while.

Its well on its way to getting back on the road after a long resto....should be an eye-catcher!

Hows that Purple (or was it dark blue) 8 series BMW doing?

[heavyD]

Oops. Didn't see this was a BMW thread. My bad.

I love all 3 to be honest. the 2002, e9 and the 635. Wonder how much it would cost. Would be lovely restoration project.

Not sure if it was the same car...but i saw a red one a few months back. I think it had a older number plate...

The 635 is a jem to have. An expensive affair to restore and maintain. Here are five clips from a program called Wheeler Dealers of a 635. Enjoy !

yeah, shocked myself when I first saw this in an exhibition. Further, I've seen two of 1 series(?) cars on Negombo road, can't recall exactly whether they were 1500 or 1800. A blue one and a red one.

[Watchman]

if i'm nt mistaken there are 2 8s.... a red and a blue. Havent seen either in years, but the last time i saw the blue (3+ years ago) it was still unregistered
