Description
It was dismantled for renovation in Järvsö in 1963. That attempt came to a halt at an early stage. The current owner has had the car for eight years, but due to a lack of time, it need someone who can tackle this unusual project.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The original engine has been disassembled, but the gearbox is complete. The engine is BMW's famed six-cylinder engine from the pre-war era, which was regarded as one of the best engines at the time.
-
Interior condition
Original upholstery with minor damage that has faded over time. The instrumentation is complete, as is the headliner.
-
Exterior condition
Complete and untouched, with all of the paint work remaining. There is a dent at the bottom of a wing edge, but otherwise it is straight, fine, and practically rust free. Moldings and grill are in good shape.
-
General condition
Given that it has been substantially dismantled for nearly 60 years and that all original parts come with the car since then, this is a remarkable find. Unusual in the sense that less than 300 EMW / BMW were sold in the Sweden in the 1950s. There are only a few known examples left today, both here or elsewhere.
Facts about the model
Hos BMW i München kom man inte igång med några fordon på ett tag. Det gjorde däremot den nya Sovjetmakten i Eisenach. Man fortsatte bygga förkrigsmodellerna 326/327/328. Och sen kom 340 som var en lite moderniserad 326.
1951 lämnade Sovjet över fabriken till den nya Östtyska staten och nu hade det börjat byggas BMW i München också. För att inte blanda ihop det så döptes de östtyska bilarna om till EMW och logotypen gjordes röd och vit.
I Sverige såldes knappt 300 EMW-bilar.
