Bitters were essentially Opels wrapped in stunning bodywork. There's nothing wrong with that. Opel running gear is strong and easy to get parts for (although you usually have to order them from Europe).
Erich Bitter was a professional cyclist (he competed in the Tour de France) before he turned to auto racing. He had a fairly successful 11 year career. After retiring from racing in 1969, he became the official German importer of Abarth and Intermeccanica.

Bitter SCs are rare to begin with. Just 500 or so were built. Only 20 of those were Cabriolets.

Bitter coupes can be found for less than $20K. This car, being a convertible and in very, very nice condition, has an asking price of $40K.

A big thanks to Tamerlane for sending me the link to this car!

very cool, perfect example of 80s high luxury, in a far nicer package than the maseratis imho. looks like more pictures of this car are on the bitter website, unless 10% or more of these cabrios were white on red with a black top:

Yay! X1/9 tail lights!
There was another Bitter for sale in Ontario. Its vanity plate read: "A WHAT". 'Nuf said.
