To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 5 February
2020.
Estimate:
€200,000 - €250,000
- Stunning Titanium Silver over Sport Red/Black interior
- Two owners and less than 21,000 km from new
Inspired by BMW's achingly beautiful 507, the Z8 was masterfully
penned by Henrik Fisker and perfectly melded classic looks with
modern performance. Under the bonnet was the E39 M5's 4.9-litre V-8
mated to a proper six-speed gearbox and producing 400 bhp.
This particular Z8 is finished in the popular colour combination of
Titanium Silver over a two-tone Sport Red and Black leather
interior. The car was sold new in August of 2000 to its first
owner, Oliver Lange of Lugano, Switzerland. Lange owned the car
until February of 2001, at which time it had travelled just 2,155
km and was purchased by its second owner, with whom the car has
remained ever since.
With the current owner, the car has recently had its nose and
bonnet repainted by Loris Kessel in Lugano to rectify stone chips,
and the VANOS control unit was repaired in November of 2014 by
Rolando Agustoni SA, the authorized BMW dealership in Balerna,
Switzerland. Importantly, the car is accompanied by its original
hardtop and stand, car cover, as well as some previous service
invoices.
Beautifully designed, the Z8 is perhaps the perfect modern
convertible for a two-person weekend trip, providing excellent
performance, sublime comfort, and practicality. This attractive
example surely will not disappoint.
- Superbe couleur Argent Titane avec int�rieur rouge
sport/noir
- Deux propri�taires et moins de 21 000 km depuis l'origine
Inspir�e par l'extraordinairement belle BMW 507, la Z8 a �t�
magistralement dessin�e par Henrik Fisker et m�lait parfaitement
une ligne classique et un comportement moderne. Le capot
dissimulait le V8 de 4,9 litres de la E39 M5, dont les 400 ch
�taient transmis aux roues arri�re par l'interm�diaire d'une bo�te
six rapports.
La pr�sente Z8 affiche une combinaison de couleurs tr�s appr�ci�e,
Argent Titane avec int�rieur en cuir deux-tons rouge sport et noir.
La voiture a �t� vendue neuve en ao�t 2000 � son premier
propri�taire, Oliver Lange, de Lugano, en Suisse. Il a conserv� la
voiture jusqu'en f�vrier 2001, couvrant pendant cette p�riode 2 155
km seulement. Il a ensuite c�d� la Z8 � son deuxi�me propri�taire,
qui l'a gard�e jusqu'� pr�sent.
La voiture a fait r�cemment l'objet chez Loris Kessel, de Lugano,
d'une peinture du bouclier avant et du capot pour effacer des
traces d'impacts ; le dispositif de gestion VANOS a �t� r�par� en
novembre 2014 par Rolando Agustoni SA, l'agent BMW officiel de
Balerna, en Suisse. Il est important de noter que la voiture est
accompagn�e de son hard-top avec son support d'origine, ainsi que
de sa housse et de plusieurs factures d'entretien.
Magnifiquement dessin�e, la Z8 repr�sente peut-�tre le cabriolet
moderne parfait pour un week-end � deux ; il offre des performances
brillantes, un confort sublime et il est pratique. Ce s�duisant
exemplaire ne d�cevra certainement pas son nouveau propri�taire.To
