Description

The owner bought this car fully renovated 28 years ago, having undergone a complete body and mechanical overhaul, and repainted in striking silver from its original light grey. Later in his ownership, the interior was fully reupholstered in red leather with new carpets and renovated wooden trim. The boot space was also upgraded with new carpets and still looks fantastic today. Always serviced by a BMW specialist, the car is often driven in the summer, including a recent 3-day timed rally in Wales.

Powered by a 3.2-litre V8 delivering 120PS to the rear wheels through a column-shifting four-speed manual transmission, this car belongs to the BMW 501 and 502 series, nicknamed ‘Barockengel’ (Baroque Angel) for their ornate design. Launched at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 502 was the first post-war German car with a V8 engine, outperforming 4-cylinder Porsches and 6-cylinder Mercedes of that era.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Always serviced and kept in top condition by a BMW specialist in southern Sweden, this car runs and drives exceptionally well. It is inspection-exempt forever. The car features nice wheels, shiny hubcaps, and good tires.

  • Interior condition:

    The fully renovated interior, including the boot space, still looks wonderful with no damage. It's a great place to sit and enjoy the BMW quality and design from the late 1950s.

  • Exterior condition:

    The older renovation has held up very well over time. The bodywork is straight, apart from a small dent on the passenger side rear wing, with no signs of rust damage, matching the clean and rust-free underbody. The paintwork is clean and shiny, with only a few minor scratches and paint blisters in places (see pictures). The chrome work all around is shiny and damage-free, except for some scratches and marks on the chrome trim around the sill from stepping in and out of the car.

  • General condition:

    This car is always kept in the best running and serviced condition possible and driven regularly during the summer months. Just hop in, turn the key, and you're ready for new adventures.

For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
