1970 Isdera Erator GTE MK III Prototype for Sale in Germany

This 1970 Isdera Erator GTE MK III Prototype is a used car showing 41,400 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Silver with a Black interior.

Eberhard Schulz designed and built the Erator GTE himself in the late 1960s, a mid-engined two-seater with a tubular steel space frame, a bonded glass-fibre body and gullwing doors. This MK III, first registered on 19 November 1970, carries a tuned five-litre Mercedes-Benz M 117 V8, four Weber carburettors and a manual five-speed transmission.

The seller quotes 950 kg, a drag coefficient of 0.322, 315 km/h and 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Schulz went on to Porsche, Mercedes and AMG, then founded Isdera in 1983; this prototype has stayed in his family ever since, with photographs, drawings and invoices recording its development.

The car is located in Hamburg, Germany.

The Isdera Erator GTE uses a mid-mounted engine drawn from proven Porsche and Mercedes-Benz production parts, with a five-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels, as this car keeps it. Eberhard Schulz built the Erator GTE in his own garage in 1968 and 1969, a two-seater in the style of the Ford GT40.

FAQ

This Isdera Erator GTE in the European market

Can this Isdera be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Hamburg, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Who is selling this Isdera Erator GTE, and how does a purchase work?

Thiesen, a professional dealer in Hamburg, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Isdera Erator GTE be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Hamburg, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Isdera Erator GTE still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Thiesen before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in Germany?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
