In the heat of the moment, I lifted the reserve (or so I thought), then wrote two comments to that effect. With only 4 seconds left, however, I realized that my attempt to lift the reserve from MBMarket site had not gone through (bad internet or operator's error on me; not MBMarket) and run out of time while trying to fix the issue. While I wasn't thrilled to sell this machine for so little, I had given my word that it would sell to the high bidder and it was my obligation to honor it, whether it showed on MBMarket site or not. I immediately called MBMarket and within seconds they were on the phone with the high bidder, confirming that he had won the car. But then I learned that he asked for additional concessions from MBMarket or me to buy it. His point (a valid one), that he was not obligated to accept the terms of the auction since MBMarket site did not show the car as "Sold". Faced with the options of offering more discounts on a hard-to-replace vehicle, or not making a sale, I decided to KEEP my car. You may see this RENNtech S65 at the Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance later this year perhaps, or The Amelia in early 2024. Cheers! MercedesDad.

What. A. Machine. Jeremy Clarkson would approve. The resale values on these are starting to skyrocket very quickly, the winner of this car will undoubtedly be able to sell it for more money in the future.
