Nkululeko Manrazo Ngcobo's 323i in South Africa!

Thanks aqnd congratulations to Nkululeko Manrazo Ngcobo for posting pics of his 323i Baur in Old School Beemers today!

Welcome to Baurspotting!   ;)

Note that the Baur frame is body-colored (red) rathert than black.  Baurs built at Stuttgart have a black Baur top frame.  This is a South African-built Baur, thus it will not have a Baur number plate.  There were about 3,000 E30 BMWs converted to "Top Cabriolets' by BMW in South Africa under license to Baur.  This is one of them!   (This is a different car, btw.  I found this posted on Nkululeko's Facebook page. Note that it is a 325i, not a 323i)   :)

Thank you for posting, Nkululeko Manrazo Ngcobo!

Paul Polettini posted this today in Baur BMW Owners!    Welcome to Baurspotting, Paul!

But I am a little confused.  You posted twice, and in one post you refer to it as your 'new Baur', and in the second post you appear to be listing it for sale?

I am very curious to know more!  It looks like a very nice Baur!    Please tell us more!  :)

1967 A One-Off BMW Coachbuilt by Frua! Yikes!

I awoke this morning to find a message from our friend and fellow Baur Owner, John van der Wal, for this amazing link today!  What a way to start my day!  ;)

UPDATE from Hans Wortelboer!*  Wow!  Thanks Hans!

WHOA!

BMW, one-off showcar coachbuilt by Frua (1967)

For Sale in the Netherlands!

I am afraid this is one of those deals where, to quote J.P. Morgan (reputedly),  "If you have to ask how much it is.... you can't afford it!"  

I know I can't afford it.  

Dammit!

But somebody out there can!
