Description
Originally sold and registered in Sweden in 1958, this BMW 501 has reportedly been stored in a garage since the early 1980s and, before that, in a barn, according to the wife who inherited it. The last recorded inspection took place on October 31, 1973, indicating that the car was likely taken off the road around 1975.
The previous owner also owned the other BMW 501 listed in this auction. It was likely intended that both cars would be restored, but unfortunately, the project was never completed.
Due to poor lighting and limited space, photographing the car was challenging, but both vehicles have now been moved outdoors to facilitate transport and loading.
A significant amount of old documentation accompanies the car, and it remains registered in Sweden.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine is complete and remains in the car, but since it has been stationary for over 50 years, it will require a full restoration.
The car has not been tested, only a visual inspection has been carried out. -
Interior condition
Interior is complete and in fairly good condition, with the seats, headliner, and dashboard instrumentation intact.
-
Exterior condition
Bodywork is complete but has rust damage on the front and rear wings and along the door edges. The other BMW 501 in this auction has much better bodywork but is missing an engine. The boot space appears solid, and the underbody shows signs of older welding and repairs.
-
General condition
My suggestion would be to purchase both cars and combine them to build one well-functioning car. The remaining spare parts would be highly valuable to other buyers searching for sought-after BMW 501 components.

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. 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. 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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
- Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
- When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
