The Cabriolet is currently in winter storage and available for any mechanical and bodywork inspection.
I have hardly had time to enjoy the Cabriolet for years due to work commitments only covering a few hundred miles each summer, it’s regularly serviced each year.
The full description of the Sale is listed below.
—————————
I am selling my rare BMW 1600 Cabriolet after 23 years of ownership, its the last of my collection of classic 02’s, having owned previously the official BMW UK 1974 2002 Turbo press and test car also an Original 74 ALPINAa4S (now in the USA) along with a 67 BMW 1600 Coupe and Tii Lux.The Paint is the original colour of Chamonix White with black calf leather upholstery and black hood, never driven in the wet and is in excellent condition. Completely restored in 1995 (there is a large photographic record in the history file) having benefited from a new fabric roof, carpets, and re trimmed black leather original seats. I had a complete body off restoration to the chassis rails with new BMW panels also with a complete engine rebuild with mild upgrades undertaken by Walden Engineering who were based in Shepreth, Cambridgeshire. Walden was made up of staff from the famous Blynstein Engineering in Shepreth. The original M10 engine has the modification of twin Weber 40 DCOE carbs, and Schrick camshaft however, it's completely original in all other respects inc matching numbers, including the standard four-speed transmission, it has only covered 15,500km (9,600 miles) since the restoration back in 1995. Its very quick with 120hp output and drives superbly.
Moted till OCT 2019.
The documents in the history file shows it was delivered new to BMW in Paris and the previous seller in the USA mentioned it was ordered for Pierre Cardin the French Fashion designer although, hard evidence has been difficult to confirm these statements and needs to be explored further. It was bought by a lady in Los Angeles in 1983, which is where it resided until 1994 when a collector brought it to the UK along with a few other Classics and advertised it for sale in England, to where i purchased it immediately.
This vehicle has won numerous BMW 2002 club awards over the years and wherever she goes it seems to draw a crowd and believed to be the only UK road registered example.
I am a longtime 02 enthusiast and not a trader and if i have missed off any information, plenty more images can be provided including the restoration.
These Cabriolets rarely come up for sale and please do ask me any questions.
This example is believed to be the ONLY road U.K. registered example.
If you would like to arrange an independent inspection please message me, the vehicle is in winter storage near Stratford upon Avon. Only 30 minutes drive from Birmingham international airport. call/sms (44) 7715590199.
THIS SALE IS AVAILABLE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS AND NOT JUST UK?
I am happy to provide some names of classic car export companies who export Classics overseas.
Many thanks
Winning buyer please comply with payment instructions and collection.
Thank you.
