Erich Bitter is a small German automaker and coachbuilder that you have probably never heard of and one of its vehicles is currently up for sale in the Netherlands.
The company was founded by Erich Bitter in 1971 and the first model it produced was the Chevrolet-powered CD. A touch under 400 examples were produced between 1973 and 1979 before Bitter turned its attention to its second vehicle, the SC, which is what you see here.

Based around the Opel Senator, the SC was built between 1979 and 1989. This example is a 1981 model that has been living in Holland since 2006. The listing at Gallery Aaldering confirms that it has been restored and resprayed in the original Salchi Rosso Rubino paint. This example is number 23 of the 488 units produced.
Power comes courtesy of a fuel-injected Opel 3.0-liter inline-six that produced 177 hp in its heyday and is coupled to an automatic transmission.
A look inside the cabin reveals beige leather upholstery across the front and rear seats, door panels, transmission tunnel, and steering wheel. There is also a matching headliner and various wooden accents. While this car has covered a touch over 76,000 km (~47,000 miles), the cabin appears to be in relatively good condition, although the leather parts are starting to show some signs of aging.
The Bitter SC has an asking price of €42,500 (~$49,000). That’s quite a lot of money but when it was new, it commanded the same price as a Ferrari 308, so it’s never been a particularly affordable vehicle.
