Guest Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 There's a good market in Germany and a strong car culture. I have sold a couple of mine there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This car is 1st owner car dealer family and 100 % original, completly unrestored and with less than 3000 mls almost new old stock." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it had at least one owner prior to my friend, Bill owning it. Edited April 24, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 My 1909 Cartercar went to a museum in Europe as well. I don't believe they'll re-sell it, but one never knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gossp Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I have a love for Cartercars. We had two, 1907/1908, a roadster and a touring. The touring never really got sorted out but that roadster was a rocket for its era. Friction drive was easy to get the hang of and it could accelerate well enough that nobody was really waiting behind you when driving through town. I want to take a spin in one of the 4cyl cartercars some day. The 2cyls were fast and powerful compared to most other 2cyl cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 There’s also seems there is a strong desire for original cars over there. When I was selling my model A the three most interested people were from Germany, Turkey, and Switzerland. It wound up in Switzerland. I wish I had saved the picture of it with the alps in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Mereness Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Most European Countries have for several years now statistically had the strongest economies that they have had since WWII - they are buying their stuff back from years of having a giant garage sale, they like American cars, and they have a surprisingly young base of people interested in cars. As to the young base, I am not sure what causes that - perhaps density of geography or a culture much more geared to touring (aka I believe they are having more "fun" with their cars).

He would get a run at the hill and adjust his friction wheel for continuous power to pass others while they were shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Every single one of my cars are one owner. Me. My Bentley went to Germany, but its been probably 15 years ago. It probably has an owner by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
