Weekend Edition – Three Magnificently Restored BMW 700s available on eBay

Jim Brennan October 13, 2012 eBay Insanity, For Sale, Weekend Edition

This will be my last post for this Saturday, and what a find. This is an auction for three incredible BMW 700s that have been meticulousness restored. I found this listing after searching for a Renault to post, but the Renault I wanted to list showed up on Bring-A Trailer (and I refuse to cross post with them). But, they didn’t post these three BMWs yet, and here they are…

According to the listing:

This is a rare and unique chance for collectors to acquire a trio of BMW’s 700. This auction is for the 3 cars together; if they don’t sell we will sell it separately immediately after this auction.

We have bought these cars in the last 12 months among another set of 3 BMW 700’s that we are starting restoration. We performed this restorations with my friend Alberto Cordero in Miami, FL he is a mechanic engineer from Argentina, former chief of mechanics of Renault France, and also former chief mechanic of Juan Manuel Fangio on the mission to the 1969 84 hs of Nurburgring with the Argentinean Torino 380 W. He have raced with the BMW 700 coupe back in Argentina in the middle 60’s to the 70’s with the 700 sport coupe, cars that were manufactured in Argentina under the brand of “De Carlo 700” by Metalmecanica in Cordoba, back in 1959 to 1961.

This car was on the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum for several years in Georgia, USA. The car was at his original spec, no rust at all, straight body with some parts of the floor pan damaged by hit. As the floor on the cabrio was reinforced by Baur Coachbuilder with a double layer floor, the work to make it straight was very hard to perform. This car was published several times in commercials and Car magazines, see the pictures in the link provided at the end of the listing.

This car among with the Limo was at a barn in Wisconsin. The cars had rust issues and we replaced on both cars new front fenders and new front from BMW Germany. The body on the coupe was straight, without any accidents, we sandblast the body and proceed with our in house master sheet metal craftsman to restore the rocket panels, floors, and inner fenders areas. All rust areas were replaced or patched; all body was treated with antirust base paint before color base and 2 hands of clear coat. Bonnet was replaced and all aluminum trims new also from BMW Germany. The body paint in this car looks astonishing.
