8AM on the last Sunday of the month, there is only one place to be on the Front Range, 8th and Pearl on the West End of Boulder’s picturesque downtown. Despite Covid, 2021 has been a great year for car enthusiasts to gather, amazing cars and entertaining people.
How often do you see a 1936 Auburn Boattail Speedster, vintage BMWs, Minis, Ferarris Alfas and a dozen air-cooled Porsches gathered a public street?
Come out and join the fun September 26th!
What a treat it was to pay homage to Imperial Motors at their original location since 1953 in Wilmette.
Original founder Alan Aron greeted everyone and had the opportunity to once again see some of the original E-Types he sold new.
It was heart warming to see and hear everyone share their stories they had with Imperial, some from the 1960s, others from the 2000’s. Great to also see a big showing of British iron.
This Thursday evening we are proud to visit a long standing family business on the North Shore. Since 1953, this icon has provided many a young car enthusiast a reason to ride their bike miles just to stare in the window and dream of one day owning a British sports car.
We encourage our members to drive their vintage British metal Thursday for this special treat back in time.
Probably one of the lowest mile 300CDs in the country with 86K original miles. Beautiful rust free turbo diesel coupe. This an all original and unmolested classic with me being the third owner. The second owner being from 1986 to 2020.
The 300CD is 100% original less the new wheel paint.
The drivers seat has a small blemish where I believe the leather was repaired. The horsehair is good. The rear seats have no rips and are good. The rear seat tops have not split but are getting hard for the sun.
Everything works including the AC. The rear windows are slow to go down (old grease) so I don’t use them.
The OE Becker radio works as does the power antenna.
There are three dash cracks as they all get.
All jack points are excellent and zero rust.
The car smells great with no odd smells. This is important to me.
Basics: 1984 300CD. Silver with blue leather. 86k miles. WDBAB53A0EA091447
Recent work completed in 2020:
1. Trans flush and filter. 2. Brakes. 3. Tires. 4. Repaint the rims in MB silver. 5. Valve adjustment. 6. New battery. 7. Diesel purge, oil change and detail.
The silver paint is all factory original with zero rust. There are a few chips from use. There are 3 very faint dings that I will have PDR removed (see gallery below).
I bought this for my distance classic to drive to our Wisconsin and Michigan Fuelfed events. The car is truly a pleasure to drive in a gentlemanly way. It’s dialed-in and has brisk acceleration and can cruise at 80mph (cruise control works).
I have put 1460 miles on it. It’s an honest car and that has been well maintained it’s whole life.
$14,900
Will the 250TR makes it’s appearance in the morning? If not, there will be 150 member cars to make up for it.
Fun times and great weather this morning at #fuelfedcoffeeandclassicsbarrington
We have to thank our incredible volunteers, for with out them events would not happen.
This Sunday morning August 22, we support downtown Barrington small business. Always a different mix of vintage European cars at this event that are seldom seen in public.
Seems like yesterday when we made this video.
Proud to have Paul & David directing our Fuelfed Coffee Corsa 3 Rally this Saturday morning presented by Imports Unlimited. We can guarantee no one has had coffee at this destination before.
