BMW 501/8 Baroque angel in a fantastic restored condition. Bought in the summer of 1956 in Munich by a Finnish gentleman from Tornio. Has since been passed down to the son, then the grandson. Enormously well-restored car with fantastic hand-sewn upholstery of woven fabric. The car has been repainted in a slightly lighter red than its original color. The paintwork is seen as very well done, with no "orange paint" or any runoff. Underneath, the car looks like new. The original receipt from the purchase and other information comes with the car. Equipped with Becker Mexico radio with automatic channel search. The stereo comes with the original documentation. All the chrome on the car is in very good condition. Wheels and rims as well.
The car has chassis number 53714 and has a 2.6-liter V8 of approx. 100 hp.
A stunning BMW 501/8 that is ready to be enjoyed!
The last owner has had the car in his possession since 2021 and made a lot of improvements.
Since last winter, the car has been in storage at Automekano out on Ringön, who are recognized as good at these cars.
During the time it has been with automekano, the following has been done:
Fixed door lock
Fixed window lifts
Installed electronic ignition system
Change the battery
The car is fully roadworthy and starts immediately upon documentation.
According to the seller, the brakes need to be lubricated when the car has been stationary for a long time
