Thanks to our friend, fellow Baur owner and alert Baurspotter Afonso Conceicao for tipping us off to this Special Find! You may recall that we reported a few months ago that the FIRST BMW Baur TC4 had arrived in the US. It is a four door Baur convertible, one of only 311 built--- none of which crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the Western Hemisphere! Until this year!
And now it is FOR SALE!
And Baurspotting gets referenced in the sale ad! :) Check it out!
This is the ONLY one! And you read that right: it is a 4 door convertible! Count the doors, folks! When was the last time you saw a 4 door convertible? :)
BTW, this Baur was formerly owned by our friend John van der Wal in Hungary, and we have posted it about it here* before, including a wonderful video that John made with his son, Ruben last year.
Gotta love this shot! ;)
