Estimate:
€120,000 - €150,000
- One of BMW's most celebrated pre-war automobiles
- Period-correct two-tone green colour scheme
Starting off manufacturing engines for airplanes, BMW manufactured
its first automobiles in 1928, and that side of the business grew
rapidly. BMW's 327 was initially launched in 1937 in cabriolet body
style but could also be had as a coup�. Utilizing the shortened
ladder-type chassis from the 326, that car's six-cylinder engine
was enlarged to 1,971 cc, now capable of 60 bhp. Power was managed
by a four-speed manual gearbox as well as hydraulic disc brakes at
all four corners.
According to information provided by BMW Group Classic, chassis
73149 was delivered with a cabriolet body; however, at some point
in the car's life an original coup� body was fitted. Documentation
accompanying the car shows that it was imported to Portugal in
2008. Presently restored in a two-tone green colour scheme over a
tan leather interior, this is a charming example of one of BMW's
most celebrated pre-war automobiles.
- Um dos mais celebrados BMW do per�odo pr�-Guerra
- Combina��o em dois tons de verde correta para a �poca
Come�ado a sua atividade como fabricante de motores de avi�o, a BMW
produziu os seus primeiros autom�veis em 1928, e este seu setor de
atividade cresceu rapidamente. O modelo 327 foi inicialmente
lan�ado em 1937, com carro�aria cabriolet, mas tamb�m podia ser
adquirido como coup�. Utilizando o chassis curto, tipo escada, do
326, o seu motor de seis cilindros de maior capacidade tinha 1971
cc e debitava 60 cv. A pot�ncia era transmitida por interm�dio de
uma caixa de quatro velocidades, tendo tamb�m trav�es hidr�ulicos
nas quatro rodas.
De acordo com a informa��o fornecida pelo BMW Group Classic, o
chassis 73149 foi entregue com carro�aria cabriolet. Todavia, em
dado momento da sua vida, recebeu uma carro�aria coup� original. A
documenta��o que o acompanha mostra que foi importado para Portugal
em 2008. Encontrando-se atualmente restaurado numa combina��o em
dois tons de verde, com interior em pele castanha, � um encantador
exemplar de um dos mais celebrados BMW do per�odo pr�-Guerra.
