Show off. What you made of it?
I liked it at the time but was just a kid looked quite good with the roof down especially from the back. However the front was a bit of a mess mind and the interior was just like an SL albeit it orange for 150k at the time it was well overpriced imo...

Wont mention the fact sat in the mustang next to it touched the rev counter and it fell off so I preceded to run away...
All the cars were up for auction as part of the show I believe along with some paintings etc... and they were kids and that getting inside all of them even a countach could not believe they did not section them off must have picked up so many little scratches and marks. It was at the Birmingham motor show in around 2006/7 shame it is not on any more was a great day out frown

I saw one of these in Chicago the other day. Have to say that in the flesh it did look really rather special and much better than it appears in those photos. It did have different wheels mind.

Maybe coachbuilders, Eterniti, see Fisker as a influence for their Hemera....

There seems to be some mixed opinions on this. I actually don't mind it too much and think it would be an interesting car to own. It would need a brave or wealthy buyer though (I would imagine)

Unless it is over 2 years old, a 9,000 mile 911 wouldn't have a stamp in the book. They do 20k between services.
True, and I think the 911 black edition is a 2011 model. However, do they not have a first service (the 1/2k oil and filter change) most cars have? Serious question. I am supprised they do 20k between services.

that thing has been round the auctions for ages. I saw it up at blackbushe towards the end of last year, and just though it was a merc with a horrible bodykit. Seems they have been shifting it around their sites lol.

Are my eyes wonky or have those LED light strips been fitted non symetrically?

Well done BCA for the footage. Can we have an auction channel if you / are finally getting PR savvy. Loved the bidding technique of the buyer....!

Well it went for £50k according to the press release from BCA, which they somehow calculated as being 170% of CAP Clean price. Funnily enough, I haven't seen a Fisker section in the book before!
