An Uncommon Luxury Coupé: The 1984 Bitter SC

Erich Bitter Automobile GmbH, better known simply as Bitter, carved a niche in European high-end motoring with a clear performance focus. Erich Bitter, a former racing driver, leveraged platforms from established manufacturers to craft his own distinctive luxury vehicles.

Between 1981 and 1989, the Bitter SC served as the company’s flagship grand tourer, blending the elegance of a bespoke coupé with the engineering of its underlying donor car. This 1984 example, now listed on Barn Finds, offers a rare glimpse into a low-volume manufacturer that never achieved mass-market recognition.

While details on this particular car remain limited, its scarcity and unique heritage make it a notable find for collectors of 1980s European exotica. The Bitter SC stands as a testament to a time when small, passionate automakers could still compete against industry giants.
