"This car has been rescued in a car collection since the 1970s and it’s relatively complete. It’s a very nice car to renovate and needs an engine review, clean and polish to make it drivable again. Just a little rust on the lower body."

Description

Unusual luxury BMW that’s been waiting 40 years to be renovated, with its lovely body lines and cool design it’s a prefect car back into a drivable condition. The engine does not turn around by hand. With the old reg-number to help, it will be easier for a buyer to register the car. Valid registration documents are missing so it’s sold unregistered.

Facts about the model

BMW:s första efterkrigsmodell presenterades på bilsalongen i Frankfurt 1951. Med sin bulliga kaross och med mycket kromutsmyckning fick modellen smeknamnet ”barockängeln”.

Tekniken i BMW 501 baserades på den tidigare 326-modellen, motorn var en 6-cylindrig radmotor och däremot hade framvagnen moderniserats med torsionsfjädring. Smeknamnet "barockängel" kommer från BMW 501 bulliga kaross samt dess rikliga kromutsmyckning.

Totalt tillverkades det 2 125 exemplar med den 6-cylindriga radmotorn mellan 1952 - 1954.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
