"A good starting point for BMW's first major challenge to Mercedes from the fifties."

Description

501 V8 sold new in Sweden. According to the register it entered the family in 1971 but could probably have been earlier. It was used extensively for excursions and meetings during the seventies. At some point during the eighties, a renovation was started, including replacing a threshold and acquiring a lot of parts, among them NOS bumpers and a couple of older ones in decent condition. Many parts are packed and labeled.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car has been stationary for a long time and no attempt to start it has been made.

  • Interior condition:

    The original interior has held up quite well, though there are some flaws, and carpets, textiles, and rubber details are quite dry due to age. The headliner is in good condition. There's a seat cover on the front seat.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint is likely mostly original. The floor and frame look sound, with one threshold replaced during the renovation, and there is some rust damage on the right front fender. Otherwise, the panels are intact without any damage.

  • General condition:

    Almost a complete object. Straight (perhaps the wrong term for BMW's curviest model) in the bodywork, and many parts are available to use or replicate.

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.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
